VA health Care S.3527

Stand Up for Veterans Update More Info September 22, 2008 New York Times Covers VA Funding Legislation The Times ran a story this morning ( "Action Is Sought to Ensure Timely Financing for V.A." ) on a bipartisan VA health care funding reform bill introduced yesterday in both the House and Senate. The piece distills why an advance appropriation for VA health care funding is needed. "The legislation would allow Congress to approve the money for veterans' medical care one year in advance. In so doing, it would separate veterans' health care financing from the crush of appropriations and political horse-trading that take place at year's end." The Times story makes clear that the current funding system creates significant delays that have, according to DAV's Joe Violante in the article, "a real impact on services." The Hill: "Measure would provide predictable care for vets" An article in The Hill also discusses why an advance appropriation is endorsed by nine VSOs (AMVETS, Blinded Veterans Association, Disabled American Veterans, Jewish War Veterans, Military Order of the Purple Heart, Paralyzed Veterans of America, The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Vietnam Veterans of America). "Political squabbling has delayed VA funding in 13 of the past 14 years - something that has severely hampered the department's ability to plan and manage its healthcare system, according to veterans. Veterans' groups say the change would ensure the agency could better handle the growing number of veterans who depend on the government for medical care." Historic Legislation on VA Funding Reform Introduced Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii) and House Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Bob Filner (D-Calif.) introduced the advance appropriation proposal yesterday. The bill, titled the "Veterans Health Care Budget Reform Act," directs Congress to appropriate funds to the VA in advance of the fiscal year, much the same way it does for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Section 8 housing programs and a number of other federal programs. The nine VSOs who joined together to form the Partnership for Veterans Health Care Budget Reform praised Members for their leadership on this issue. Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairmen Daniel Akaka and Bob Filner also issued statements on the new legislation. Original cosponsors of S. 3527 include Senators Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), Russ Feingold (D-Wisc.), Mary Landrieu (D-La), Tim Johnson (D-S.D.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), John Thune (R-S.D.), Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), and John Rockefeller (D-W.Va.). Original cosponsors of H.R. 6939 include Congressmen Walter Jones (R-N.C.), Michael Michaud (D-Maine), Phil Hare (D-Ill.), and Timothy J. Walz (D-Minn.). About the Stand Up for Veterans Initiative Stand Up for Veterans is an initiative of the Disabled American Veterans, an organization of 1.4 million disabled veterans who are focused on building better lives for disabled veterans and their families. The initiative seeks to find public policy solutions for all veterans, particularly those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, who have incurred devastating injuries and disabilities, including traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychological wounds of war.

Vote Vets Sarah Palin's Son - Iraq?

• 

  Dear VoteVets.org Supporter, One the most disturbing developments we at VoteVets.org have seen this week are media outlets reporting details regarding the deployment of Track Palin to Iraq, Governor Sarah Palin’s son. In a number of outlets, the details of when and where Track will be in Iraq have been reported. This isn’t just a violation of Operational Security (OPSEC), it puts the lives of every troop around him in danger. It’s time for the Department of Defense to investigate who is leaking these details to the media. And, we need you to co-sign our letter to the Pentagon to get an investigation underway. CO-SIGN OUR LETTER DEMANDING AN INVESTIGATION HERE We’re all proud of every child of a politician who is serving in uniform – Democrat and Republican. And, their parents deserve to be proud. That’s not the point. When someone chooses to bolster that story by leaking classified details to the media, it allows the enemy to gain valuable information that allows them to strike at a symbolic target of importance – and all the troops around that target. It’s dangerous, it’s illegal, and it needs to be investigated. SIGN OUR LETTER HERE, TO STOP LEAKS OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION Whoever is divulging this information to the media should be prosecuted and punished, if found guilty. Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or of another party, we should all agree that we cannot accept anyone feeding classified details to the press. Join us in demanding the Pentagon investigate.

1 min ago McCain's POW experience: Too much of a bad thing - TwinCities.com Opinion McCain's POW experience: Too much of a bad thing By Maureen Dowd Article Last Updated: 08/25/2008 03:50:45 PM CDT WASHINGTON — My mom did not approve of men who cheated on their wives. She called them "long-tailed rats." During the 2000 race, she listened to news reports about John McCain confessing to dalliances that caused his first marriage to fall apart after he came back from his stint as a POW in Vietnam. I figured, given her stringent moral standards, that her great affection for McCain would be dimmed. "So," I asked her, "what do you think of that?" "A man who lives in a box for five years can do whatever he wants," she replied matter of factly. I was startled, but it brought home to me what a powerful get-out-of-jail-free card McCain had earned by not getting out of jail free. His brutal hiatus in the Hanoi Hilton is one of the most stirring narratives ever told on the presidential trail — a trail full of heroic war stories. It created an enormous credit line of good will with the American people. It also allowed McCain, the errant son of the admiral who was the commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific during Vietnam — his jailers dubbed McCain the "Crown Prince" — to give himself some credit. Post Trama Stress Syndrome Thanks to McCain for the Freedom_Fighter he is, Happy Birthday at 72, We wish your endevors Ring True. http://www.google.com/search...

Stand Up for Veterans Update More Info June 19, 2008 National Journal: “Veterans Ask for an Advance” The National Journal ran a story outlining DAV’s legislative proposal for VA funding reform. “For years, veterans groups have argued, in vain, for making veterans health care funding automatic, as it is for Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. In recent months, however, a coalition led by the 1.4 million-member Disabled American Veterans has switched tactics. Instead of seeking politically unpalatable mandatory funding, the group is proposing that VA health care be funded through an obscure legislative mechanism called ‘advance appropriations.’” Women Veterans’ Summit to Be Held June 20-22 DAV is one of the co-sponsors of the National Summit on Women Veterans’ Issues, which is scheduled for this weekend. The summit will evaluate progress on issues of concern to the women veterans’ community. Following the summit, recommendations will be developed to ensure the quality of care for women veterans in the future. AP: “Study Sees Discrepancies in VA Care for Men, Women” The Associated Press reported on a new VA study showing that female veterans are not receiving the same quality of care as men in about a third of the VA outpatient-care facilities. Part of the solution, says the report, is for the VA to hire more physicians trained in women's care.
