The study's authors warn that the health care legislation "would do
virtually nothing for the uninsured until 2013" and would "leave at
least 17 million uninsured over the long run when reform kicks in,"
leaving many veterans still without care.

Why not simply adjust the means-testing favorably for veterans (ref.
"Spinal Tap")?

...in response to a specious argument, btw.




And I do not remember being promised lifetime medical when I joined the Air
Force. They cover service connected injuries, but did not promise medical
for those not retiring from the service And they do take care of those with
service connected problems. My brother is an Agent Orange vet, and gets his
care via the VA. Good care also.


You'll notice that JPS did not respond to the point that the
means-testing merely needs to be adjusted to accomodate veterans of
lesser means (those that are "unable" to afford health insurance).
