WASHINGTON — Several Republicans stormed out of a House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs hearing Tuesday after the panel’s Democratic chairman refused to allow them to introduce amendments to a health care bill for female veterans. 

“It’s frustrating and it angers me to think this is what this great committee has come to be. I’m embarrassed today to be on the Veterans Affairs committee,” said Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., the ranking Republican on the committee. “I could care less what your political party is when it comes to veterans issues. I just want to help take care of veterans. Today, we didn’t do that. We made a partisan committee out of something that should never have happened.”

I thought Veterans Choice sucked

But this new Mission Act is worse..

Personally I think the administration is is doing everything it can to undermine these programs with the goal of scrapping the Veterans Health Care System.

Of course a draft dodger with bone spurs could never conceive that there may be old Vets out there that may actually need the care that was promised.. :shrug:
