We, the Undersigned believe All US Military Veterans, in good standing, should be able to walk into ANY hospital or see any Physician in America and get any and all necessary Medical Attention that they need at any time. We, as Americans, believe that OUR Military Men and Women deserve the best possible Healthcare, and not ONLY from a Government VA Medical Center, where they may have to drive for hours to gain access to it. Our brave warriors have served their Country with Honor & Pride, as well as Selflessness, in times of War & Peace and deserve Healthcare at any Hospital, with any Doctor, with any Medical Service, or through any Ambulance Service in the country, at any time necessary. This includes prosthetic needs or ambulatory necessities. This can be achieved in various ways, regardless if they are issued a VA Health ID Card to access these services or a direct bill is issued by the Medical facility directly to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Also noting that Disabled (Service-Connected) Veterans or Current Active-Duty Service members should have the Necessary Permits or ID's to attain these services at any given time at any given location throughout the United States of America and including it's Territories.

The people have spoken and the bureaucrats at the VA can no longer ignore this demand for basic dignity. This momentum proves that Americans are sick of watching our veterans suffer while facilities turn them away at the door.

My brother has to drive 3 hours just for a checkup. It makes no sense when there is a perfectly good clinic 10 mins from his front door. Fix this now.
