My husband fought in Vietnam with the 101st.  We have the VA.  Our son who lost his job does not have insurance or a business
anymore.  The VA is very overcrowded due to all of the veterans who have lost jobs and insurance.  No one is being taken care
of efficiently in this country.  When 2000 people show up in the state of Virginia  to get a tooth pulled or a pap smear, should that not tell you people something?
I am a moderate but where were you all when it came to spending trillions to go into war?  It is OK to run up the deficit to kill but not to
heal?  That is exactly what you people are projecting !  

You have no idea what it is like not to have a vacation.  Something you are about to take in the month of August.  You have no clue
what it is like to not be able to go to the doctor or choose food  and ignore pain !  We pay for your health care and your vacations as you
sit in that Ivory castle and tell all that is hurting, it can wait.  How many will die  in the richest land of the world because they stopped
their blood pressure medicine.  They smoke maybe to curb appetite or can't afford depression meds and mental health.  What part of this do you people not get?

Yes, we care about the deficit.  We cared about it when billionaires got tax breaks.  We cared about it when we sent some of our finest
into an unnecessary war.  If we are going to have to pass something down to our kids, let it not be a memorial flag or copy of a foreclosure notice.
Corporations own this country and the men and women who fought for it did not raise up their hands to protect the big banks, the corporations,
and the wealthy legislators.  They fought for a more perfect union.  You seem to be fighting for the opposition and we pay you while you obstruct.
The people have spoken.  They want health care reform and since Truman we have been promised a health care system for all.

Sincerely,
Proud wife of a combat Vietnam Veteran (disabled)
