Voting totals here
All but one Republican voted against a new bill to increase Veterans' medical services by 1.5 billion.
What was shot down:
$231 million in assistance to help Iraq war Veterans make the transition home
Expanded Veteran Support Clinics by providing $81 million to expand Vet centers around the country to provide daily support and assistance to Veterans
Eliminating new fees and copayments by providing $825 million to roll back a Bush Administration plan to raise fees and co-payments on veterans who seek VA health care
Providing $42 million to expand residential rehabilitation services for Veterans
Increased Support for PTSD and Mental-health care by providing an additional $321 million
Just like the minority and fundie religious vote, you are important to the GOP for photo ops and election cycles only.
After that, please die and wither away.
Thanks, your everloving "majority",
The Republican Party.
