Your Opinion: Health vouchers urged for veterans

Dear Editor:

Once again, the president has disgraced himself and the office he holds. This Memorial Day, Mr. Obama stated that the country needs to do more for its veterans.

Mr. President, it is this country, these United States, that raise up the men and women who step forward to serve all of us. The country is doing its job. Now is a good time for you to start doing yours to better serve the men and women you purport to honor today.

Mr. President, you have told the legislative branch that you have a cell phone and a pen which you plan to use to push your agenda forward. Please use both now to execute an order from your office to authorize any veteran, regardless of age, to receive a voucher to go outside of the government administered health care program that is failing them to receive the health care they need and have earned. All it takes is a courageous stroke of your pen.
