Political Quotes

“I am truly amazed and puzzled. I really do not understand why the President and why the Republican leadership in this House would choose to treat veterans with such disdain. One of the first things the President did after becoming President during his first term was to increase the cost that a veteran pays for a prescription drug from $2 a prescription to $7 a prescription. I introduced legislation to repeal that increase but unfortunately I was unable to get that legislation passed. So now many veterans, thousands of veterans, pay $7 for each prescription they get through the VA. Seven dollars may not sound like a lot of money, but many of the veterans who are in need of medication take 10 or more prescriptions a month, and many of these people are on fixed incomes. Many of them have fought our wars.”
