You Won’t Believe What Jeb Bush Is Doing For Veterans, It’s Finally Happening!

This is great, but what else is there?
He promises that extra funds can be found through ‘cutting excess administrators (not caregivers)’ and eliminating ‘billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse.’ That includes more competitive bidding for department contracts and firing poorly performing employees.
‘Ample resources exist within the VA budget to improve the quality and scope of care,’ Bush’s policy paper states. ‘In other government agencies, common-sense reforms have saved billions. The VA must get its house in order and send savings into improving veteran choice and veteran care.’
He’s also promising better online health care access systems for veterans, calling existing offerings too cumbersome and outdated.
Amen to that last point because the liberals and Obamacare haven’t done a damn thing.
I urge you to read over his full paper at the link above, and help liberals to understand that this is an important issue and they should not be silent when it comes to your veterans!
