there are many aging veterans facing a health care system that is almost inconceivable. what a government that encourages it’s families, to grow, create a better life, work hard to help each other, the community, and the government, encourages people to be proud to pursue their dreams, and then after all the commitments are made to family, children, grandchildren lives connected by ideals set forth by an american government that encourages family and ties, then someone gets sick, and it is sell the insurance policies, leave the children homeless, sell the home, loose everything you are encouraged to be, so you could have two thousand dollars left, and are down and out now, after a good life, and your family, is down and out, everything positive cancelled so medicaid, gets everything, and you have two thousand dollars, left. all our lives are lived so a socialist government can claim all our hard earned assets as their own, basically the government says our time belongs to them. they create down and out situations to fit their bureacy and then when this couch is worn down, they go to the next family, america you do not have the guts to let people live, improve, get sick, without owing you anything. especially being sick, that is when the people need a good government policy that will help them stay together, not destroy their legacies so medicaid can get their money.

I really hope that it’s done the way it’s said here and that the war trauma is not treated with pills that will cause much more harm to these young men.
Counseling is what they need. And I hope it’s designed with the help of vets from other wars because they know what it’s like to come back from hell.
Congratulations to all of you American vets.

[...] Since it’s relevant, I’d like to point out that when it comes to veteran aid and rights, Obama is pretty solid. Supporting veteran health care aid, homeless programs, PTSD support…. Veterans Rights | Barack Obama | veteranjournal.com [...]

I will like to see if he actually stands behind the veterans as he says, because there has been alot overlooked in the past years.

Let’s all hope and pray that this truly happens and doesn’t get lost in the shuffle — and the competing pressure for funding and priorities. TBI affects us all, whether we have sustained one, or we are living/working with someone who has experienced this. We have a long way to go, before we can say we’re doing all we can — and so much of it has to do with education.

Where the government comes up short (as it too often does), we can individually do something. Support a veteran who is dealing with TBI/PTSD. Extend a helping hand. Be a little more patient. Remember, there is still a person there, who matters very much. And never forget who they made their sacrifice(s) for — you, me, and this amazing country of ours.

Thank you.
