Promising “swift action” to help suffering veterans, leaders of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee unveiled new legislation Tuesday that would extend health care coverage for separating troops for at least 10 years and mandate more screening of veterans for toxic exposure injuries.
However, the proposal was met by derision from some advocates, who called it less comprehensive than proposed House legislation and not ambitious enough considering the years of effort put into helping victims of military burn pits overseas.

Schmucks the lot of them. Ever wonder why there's always money for these stupid useless wars we get ourselves involved in?

Well, I go today to see a doctor I have already seen a VA doctor. But now that I have asked for official help and benefits, I am being sent to QTC. To supposedly fast track my claim. The VA has been cat scanning my chest for 3 years they know I have nodules and breathing issues. I feel like sending me to a civilian gives them an out. They can say "see we sent him to a specialist they say he is fine".
