  The VA: “The Greatest Story Never Told”

  james, i don't understand.  you say you're rated at 100% disability.  the v.a. pays $2700 a month, tax free, if you single, and provides all your medical care at no charge.   also, if you're rated at 100%, you are entitled to social security disability. 
  
  these are benefits that you, and all other disabled vets are entitled to.  you earned them.  you gave your time, and your body, and they give back.  have you not checked with the v.a. lately?

  The VA: “The Greatest Story Never Told”

  i have been a part of the v.a. healthcare system since 1971.  i've seen it go through many, many changes.  100% of my healthcare is now provided by the v.a.  i only wish every citizen could have the same quality of care that i receive. 
  
  i have been working as an activist in promoting h.r. 676, a single payer health plan.  maybe the v.a. works so well because the greed factor is removed.
