Are our Vet's properly taken care of? If not why and what do you think we need to do to take care of them?

If vets were properly taken, it would be much less than 22. People may claim the problem is the doctor, but the problem is the system. The head honchos want a financially beneficial system, which means they always try the cheapest treatments first, and gradually increase until the problem is manageable (not fixed). What we need is increased funding for veteran care that does not go to paying salaries, combined with doctors who care more about patients and less about an unjust system.

Yes that is very true to add to that. Some Vets have to many prescriptions because of the miscommunication of Doctors. A Marine Vet was taking so many meds that he almost had to drop out of College. After my Uncle spoke to him and convinced him to stop taking all those meds. he went to the VA after being off the meds and talk to them about it. I am not sure what meds if any he is taking now. Just know that his grades turned around and he was able to get his grades up to a low B i believe. I will have to check with my uncle again if anyone wants me too.

I fully believe that our Veterans come 1st. Not illegal immigrants or and other type of race or creed. America needs to take care of their own. And of course the VA and the government is not doing it. Hire more Healthcare professionals and cut funding to the middle east and sancuatary cities.

SFC (Join to see) - I believe everyone should have a right to pursue the "American Dream", if there is still one. The point being, whoever comes into the United States of America, have to obey by OUR rules, guidelines, EARN IT, instead of getting a FREE HANDOUT, because hard working tax payers are TIRED of SUPPORTING the self rightous and self entitlement. And, just because there may be a rule, a guideline, a regulation, etc. that person man/woman/it should have enough of character to ACCEPT it, and abide by the values and principals. When I was a soldier, and going to another I was told and ordered to abide by that individual country rules. No change in the rules of engagement, just a good dose of Army values and respect.

More time to care for our own would be a good start. There are so many vets that need medical attention and that are homeless that need time to work on their sides for once. As days past and the leaders of the VA fill their pockets, we have to sit back and wait for a process that has many flaws. A proven committee needs to sit down, with not a lot of time, and revise the current VA policy that mandates how our veterans are taken care of. It isn't the doctors or the nurses that are the problem. The by laws that the VA was founded on are messed up. Someone needs to get their head out of their "forth point of contact
