man that served our country? the department of veteran s affairs received massive amounts of criticism, and in this situation i don t know what exactly happened as far as his attempt to get va care, but we have 22 veterans a day committing suicide in this contea, and in most cases they don t take anybody with them or kill others, and they quietly and nobody talks about it. some people talk about it, but it has not been addressed even to this day, so the fact that he did not commit suicide but decided to shoot a dozen other people and surrender is unusual in that sense that he didn t commit suicide but caused other people to die.
event talking about meeting medical needs of our veterans in the 21st century filled with a room of doctors, pas, nurses, all sitting here trying to figure out how to crack this nut and they themselves agree that we can t privatize the entire thing. there are some i don t want to use the wrong term. there are nonemergency situations where we could give just using my military i.d. card, i can go into a hospital and be treated and the government will pay for that treatment. i cut myself with an ax. went to a doctor to put 18 stitches in my leg. no va hospital around. this is something you can verify. no va hospital around. when i got back to my base i filed a document. i never saw the bill. it was taken care of. that was then. can you do that now? why can t we do that? we have issues with our va. we know that. the va is also stepping up to the plate. there are some really good
