Doug Chase, a Vietnam veteran who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2011. In 2012, his wife, Suzanne, tried to move his medical care to a nearby Veterans Affairs hospital. “It was so difficult for him to take the ambulance ride into Boston, we wanted to be closer.” They waited about four months and never heard anything -- Chase died later that year. But two weeks ago, he got a letter, from the VA in Bedford, saying he could now call to make an appointment to see a primary care doctor. “It was addressed to my husband and I opened it,” said Suzanne Chase. “I was in complete disbelief.”

But come on man, if we treat our vets then that might delay the immediate medical assistance terrorists get at Gitmo. I mean come on, priorities are priorities here: We have to make sure every dime is spent to ensure our Muslim brothers have all the necessary luxuries at club Gitmo.

If he crossed the border with the Hondurans, he’d get first class food and health care.

Cut out the Marxists in the middle and save money. DISMANTLE the VA. Vouchers for vets to go anywhere for medical care. Declare all wars. Win all wars utilizing all assets until the enemy is properly eliminated/subdued

Fighting abroad to make the world safe for TOTALITARIANS at home? Who created this con, this socialist Skinner box? Why be cannon-fodder/collateral damage for collectivists?

Plunder & death, the calling cards of socialists/totalitarians.

He would have just sucked up medical care that Obama needs for illegal aliens.

How about the traitor Bradley Manning? Responsible for the largest security breach in US military history. Instead of being shot by firing squad like he was suppose to be, they want to transfer him to civilian prison so he can indulge in his sexual perversions courtesy of the taxpayer. But this is what happens when we have traitors in the White house.

Obamacare won't be much better once it kicks in - the "elderly" (age 50 and over) will be offered palliative care only -- while all the "children" from Central America receive red-carpet treatment - hell, they already are!!

Several years ago at a dinner my cousins husband was saying he was not feeling well so he was taken to the hospital. He had some blockage in an artery and surgery was performed as soon as possible. No delays.

If that happens under obamacare he would be given pain medication and told to come 6 months later for a checkup.
