“This administration has failed to request enough money for veterans’ health care year after year. Instead of doing what’s right, they have closed hospitals and shortened hours. They excluded an entire class of veterans from care. And they have repeatedly tried to shift the burden for funding care onto the backs of veterans themselves through higher co-pays and enrollment fees. “We’ve got veterans being turned away at the VA and veterans who can’t get prescriptions filled. We are creating new veterans in Iraq and Afghanistan every day, many of whom will need a lifetime of care as a result of their wounds. Now is the worst possible time for the president’s cuts and Congress’ apathy.”
