CALL ON PRESIDENT TO WITHDRAW VA PLAN

Please write a letter to President Barack Obama asking him to withdraw his Administration’s plan for the Veterans Administration to bill a veteran’s personal insurance company for certain healthcare costs associated with service-related disability.  The White House proposed the plan as part of the 2010 VA budget, but veteran groups and some lawmakers are leading the charge against it calling it unacceptable.  Congressman Todd Tiahrt wrote to the President that the White House proposal would “add additional burdens on our veterans.” 

It is rather shocking that one week our government is passing billion dollar bailouts for huge corporations and the next week increasing the burdens on our veterans who proudly served our country.  This plan must be defeated.  It is one of the most important issues affecting our nation’s veterans at this time and we need to stand up against it.  Please post your comments here or send your feedback to info@devildogadvocates.org. 

Thank you!
