Dear President Obama,
The problems plaguing the Veteran’s Administration have been festering for decades under both Republican and Democratic administrations. They are deeply fundamental and cannot be solved by throwing more money at them. The entire program is in disarray and needs to be dismantled and completely revamped. I urge you to help our veterans by giving them medical vouchers which can be used immediately at a hospital of their choice for diagnostic and treatment purposes.
The failure of the Veterans Administration cannot be solved overnight. Why should our military wait one more minute while the government spends 5 million dollars to investigate the widespread and systemic failure of the V.A.? Some facilities are doing an outstanding job, such as Loma Linda.

Our military sacrifices so much on our behalf. They put their lives on the line. Many are gone from their loved ones for months and years at a time. The least we can do is to insure that they receive the best possible medical care available when they return home. I urge you to issue medical vouchers to any and all who are stuck in this intolerable situation.
With respect and gratitude,
