America's Veterans Deserve Adequate Medical Care
Target: U.S. Congress
Sponsored by: American Medical Association Patients' Action Netw
Sponsored by: American Medical Association Patients' Action Netw
Service members fighting for our country shouldn't have to worry about their families' health care. But millions of military patients and their families are already having trouble finding physicians. Since TRICARE, the military insurance plan for active and retired military members and their families, is tied to Medicare, future doctor payment cuts will cause even greater harm to their health care quality. Unless Congress acts now, future doctor payment cuts will deprive these heroes of the health care they need and deserve. Help protect service members' access to doctors!

I urge you to stop Medicare doctor payment cuts. Our veterans and their families fought for all of us. All of them should receive excellent medical care. Any cuts in doctor payments will preclude their getting this care.

These people have put their life on the line for us. The least we can do is provide them with health care.

I assumed if veterans were risking their lives, we would take care of them?

So many veterans have illnesses due to the expose of toxic chemicals. Specifically depleted uranium. It's time for Bush and the oil companys to turn themselves in on the damage they caused. If they don't willingly turn themselves in, it's time for the people, the senate, congress, and the courts to lock them up!!! Thank you, Laura

These men an women deserve better treatment than what they are receiving. When America needed them they went, when they need help America is turning a blind eye to them? It's not right. They deserve the best medical care that can be provided. Please support stopping Medicare cuts.

We have asked these people to be willing to risk everything for us. The least we can do is to ensure the very best care for the survivors. I appreciate your ongoing commitment to Veterans and want you to know that you have my full support.

What a disgrace to our service members and their families to cut back on their Medicare payments! What has America become?! We are no longer leaders in the world except in our lack of making intelligent decisions. Congress, I urge you to do what is right and take care of our service people.

It is criminal that we do not support and appropriately compensate veterans and active duty service members for all that they have given the American people. For them we might not be free or live a democratic life. I strongly urge you to continue to support our troups medical needs as they most certainly deserve them!

They need to be able to count on the country that they fought for to support them in any way.So if you take this away from them it's like telling them your not grateful for what they have done as soldiers.They served to save America.And God helped them through that.They still have life.So don't make them feel betrayed by their own country.

Those who risk their lives deserve the best medical care that exists. My son is Army. He has major medical problems due to his service in the military. He is greatly disturbed about the so called "medical treatment" he is getting now - as well as extremely worried what will happen in the future. I have two nephews who are also military: Marine & Air Force It breaks my heart to think they, as well as my son, volunteered to protect the millions of citizens here and around the world, but face not being able to receive appropriate medical care when they - and their family - need it. Why d military personnel, their families (and the doctors that treat them) have to suffer because the government has misused the funds?

they served our country, many lost just about everything fighting for their country. Why should the country take away one of the many things that these veterans fought so hard for? It's very selfish. My fiance is in the service now, in Jalalabad Afghanistan..why should his healthcare be cut? He is doing a job many of those in the government are not brave enough to do. Don't be selfish. Those who fight for us deserve only the best.

This is the time to be EXPANDING coverage to EVERYONE not reducing coverage to our service people or senior citizens. It's embarrassing to be the only industrialized nation without health care for everyone!!
