I think the most egregious aspect of this war supplemental submission is the fact that American veterans have been left out. Not only are deductibles being raised, not only are co-payments being insisted upon for prescription drugs, but that a substantial number of veterans are now so-called priority 8 veterans, which means that they make over $24,000 a year and are denied access to the veterans health care system. That is unconscionable.

I wanted to note that in hearings before the Committee which I Chaired there were a number of military prosecutors that testified that described that entire process as a sham, a joke and a fraud being perpetrated.
We didn't get here because of government. We got here because government didn't do its job.
