Missing money

It wouldn't surprise me if part of the missing money allowed for the Veterans is in Medicare. They were talking about putting all of them into Medicare, but may have settled for the older veterans. VA did get medicine very cheaply for their patients, unlike Medicare.

They are appointing committees to do a lot of things that some won't like.

I want to help the Veterans, but Medicare is in enough trouble without adding the Veterans. We need to give excellent medical care to the Veterans and charge a tax if necessary to do that, which is what the "no tax" warriors don't want to do.

I could be wrong on this, but it is worth checking into.
