Bush supporting the troops, again.
CNN.com - Democrats slam budget cuts for veterans' services - Mar 19, 2005: "Vet co-payments for prescription drugs were tripled two years ago, Rendell said, and 'now the president is proposing to again double those increased co-pays.'
'In the midst of a war, when many new men and women will join the legion of veterans, does it really make sense for the president to increase the cost of vets' prescriptions by 100 percent?'
Rendell criticized a proposal calling for a $250 fee 'to be paid by every vet wishing to participate in the Veterans Administration health care program. '
'There may well be some veterans who can afford to do so, but can all vets come up with an extra $250 a year to pay for health care? I doubt it.'
He urged 'every patriotic American' to contact their legislators and protest budget cuts for veteran services."
