With the increase of veterans returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan and in the aftermath of the Walter Reed Fiasco veterans health care can no longer be on the back burner.
The need for a fully funded and fully staffed veterans health care program is imperative if America is to fulfill its promise to provide quality and affordable health care to the men and women who have served our country.
Unfortunately,Senator John McCain and some lawmakers are proposing to privatize veterans healthcare - throw veterans into the private health care industry that is failing millions of Americans. That's not the way to fulfill America's promise to our veterans.
That's why the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE)opposes any proposal to privatize veterans health care. The right course is to fully fund and staff the VA.
