To Americans who are elderly, disabled, or are veterans?
Many of you should remember that, early in his presidency, President Bush signed a bill that slashed 147 programs to benefit the elderly and disabled. Under President Bush, veterans health care at VA hospitals has declined in quality, while medication co-pays at the VA have more than tripled and private insurance is now billed by the VA just like private hospitals do.
We have all heard (in McCain’s own voice) that McCain voted with the President 90% of the time (and Bush also claims to be a veteran and STILL did this), and he has promised to continue many of Bush’s policies.
Is it in YOUR best interest to vote for someone who makes those promises? If so, how and why?
No I am not one of those, but I have relatives who are and it disgusts me to see what kind of crap they have to go to. We send our boys off to a questionable war and their health care is crap when they come back. Good Riddance!
