VETERANS MEDICAL CARE FOR ALL VETERANS

On Jan.17, 2003, the VA disenfranchised thousands of veterans from receiving Veterans Administration Medical care by establishing a new classification of category eight for veterans that exceeded an income and net worth threshold. Veterans who applied prior to this arbitrary and capricious date REGARDLESS OF INCOME were enrolled. Those veterans (thousands) who are and were eligible but had not taken the formal enrollment steps became catagory eight casualties.There can be no justification for this unequal treatment of like veterans. Individual veterans were not told of this illegal and discriminatory action either by letter or even wide spread media coverage.Those who served our country the same as those prior to the Jan.17,2003 black day of discrimination SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO THE SAME VA BENEFITS.
