Veterans can now see any doctor and have the government pay for it if a Veterans Hospital can't see them in a timely manner.

So conservatives support single payer government funded socialist healthcare only for the elderly and vets? Socialism for me and bupkis for thee.

This a good thing for veterans who live a distance from Veterans hospitals. Good for Trump looking out for our Veterans, something Obama was lacking.

Good for Donny, it's about time!

Now, how about working for ALL Americans as promised and working on the far better than the ACA plan you promised time after time after time you'd put in place immediately after you took office? Or would that interfere too much with golf and Dog & Pony Show rallys?

I wonder how many doctors will actually see them. I can't tell you how many doctors' offices I go into with the sign up "We don't take Medicare patients." If a doctor doesn't feel they can get reimbursed, they won't accept the patient. I sure hope his new law has a provision for this.

FYI democrats voted down the republican heath plan....


One other point I would make. You call Trump rallies dog and pony shows... what did you call the hundreds of rallies Obama held almost weekly for eight years? Did you complain when Obama flew to Hawaii and played golf while the world burned?

I'm certain some doctors are already seeing big $$$$ signs. They'll probably put up signs in their medical offices saying Veterans Welcome Here and advertise it as well.

Congress makes laws. They had a plan that missed passing by one vote - McCain voted it down. Write, call, email your representatives and tell them to get off their fat, lazy arses.

Mitch McConnell said he is only allowing the Senate to take one week off in August instead of the whole month because Dems obstructing has created a backlog of things that need to get done.
