Last night instead of watch the democrat convention, I chose to watch Sen. McCain address the American Legion National convention in Phoenix.
Senator McCain was pretty emphatic about the need to do a better job providing quality health care for our Vets. He said one thing he plans to do is to give every vet a benefit access card that would be good at any Va facility and if one is not near the vet then that vet could use that card at a non vet facility close to them.
He also emphasized the need for quality mental health care as well.
In addition to helping the men returning from overseas, he would like to offer the same quality health care to returning women.
Our next president also said it is time to stop the lines to get into other lines and make the healthcare required available when they need it(vets).
I was really impressed when McCain told us he plans to end the pork being attached to VA funding bills and for that matter the pork attached to other spending bills.
Senator McCain also explained why he did not support the GI bill that was first drafted a few weeks ago as he said there were flaws in the original bill. Senator McCain would like to see GI benefits with the ability to be handed down to children or spouses of vets.
The last statement that our next president made was that he is praying to a loving God to bless and protect our troops. I say amen to that!
