I’ve been searching about veterans and wanted to start a discussion around the topic area as a whole. Here are some of the main ones (of the 100+ search results):
Objective: To modernize the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) by leveraging blockchain technology. This integration aims to reduce operational expenses, enhance transparency, improve healthcare service delivery, and provide better health outcomes for veterans across the nation.
Rationale: The VHA is one of the largest integrated healthcare systems in the U.S., serving millions of veterans annually. While the VHA has made significant strides in healthcare delivery, challenges remain in managi…
Admittedly, this is rather a bold policy change. We have the Veterans Administration Hospital System and we have Medicaid. My proposal is simple but not easy.
Swap the two systems. Expand and use the current VA clinics and hospitals to treat all citizens without health insurance and provide service-connected veterans with private health insurance.
Every veteran has a well documented history going back to their time of enlistment. We know who they are, where they served and a history of illnes…
If a veteran is 100% disabled or has a disability rating with Totally Disabled Individual Unemployability (TDIU) or Permanent and Total (P&T), the veteran and dependents should automatically qualify for Social Security Disability and should have the Medicare/Medicaid costs waived.
Once a veteran is qualified as 100%, P&T, and/ or TDIU, the veteran would be awarded backpay and monthly payments from the VA as a total amount from both agencies-SSA and VA. The VA can submit their findings and award…
Purpose: To ensure that disabled veterans have access to affordable loan options and are not discriminated against by financial institutions.
Section 1: Maximum Interest Rate
(a) All financial institutions that provide loans to disabled veterans shall not charge an interest rate higher than 1% per annum on such loans.
(b) This provision applies to all types of loans, including personal loans, mortgages, and vehicle financing.
Section 2: Non-Discrimination in Lending
(a) Financial institutio…
Purpose: To amend the current calculation of disability ratings for veterans to ensure that a veteran with a combined disability rating of 100% receives full disability compensation.
Section 1: Amendment to Title 38, United States Code
(a) Current Calculation Method: The Department of Veterans Affairs shall discontinue the current method of calculating combined disability ratings, which often results in veterans receiving less than 100% compensation despite their total disability ratings.
(b)…
I feel that veterans who have honorably served their country should be excluded from all state and federal tax.
Secondly:
Veterans should not be penalized for their healthcare needs for their service to our country.
(Taxes):
If there needs to be a standard for this exemption why don’t we start with these points.
Honorably discharged
60% to 100% disability rating
No property taxes
Business tax exemptions
tax exemptions on major purchases (vehicles) or anything over 5k.
Please feel free to …

Biggest issues with VA:
Our veterans have wrote off on risking their own life for country. Allowing us to have the freedom we have today.
Every doctor we have in America should be required to accept VA insurance for that they wouldn’t be the doctor they are today without our veterans. Our veterans need to come first.
Giving every veteran an option to go anywhere they want with their health benefits. For some people they have to travel to see a doctor. Granted VA does reimbursed for traveling …
Many United States veterans face homelessness and a deep sense of purposelessness after their service. These men and women, who have already sacrificed so much for our country, deserve a path to reintegration and meaningful work. I am proposing a program that not only supports our veterans but also addresses the urgent need for safer school environments across the country.
This program would train veterans to serve as armed guards for every school in the United States, giving them a new sense o…
Disabled Veterans of this great nation do not have their disability pay taxed. However, all Veterans pay taxes on their retired pay. The funds used to pay Veteran retiree pay has already gone through several rounds of taxation. Please REMOVE TAXES FOR RETIRED VETERAN’S PAY. Many retired Veterans have to continue working in the private sector to make ends meet, even after they are eligible to receive Medicare. This is a consequence of young families not being able to afford homes, educational ex…
The VA has continuously failed our veterans from under rating disability, to subpar health care. They have countless cases of negligence and continue to spend tax payers money on things that ultimately do not help veterans. I purpose that the VA be restructured and all veterans receive government paid medical at any doctor they wish to see. The VA has given veterans 0% ratings for service connected disabilities where the veteran has then been forced to wait years during the appeals process to re…
All veterans need to have free healthcare through Veterans Affairs, especially those who are homeless and without any support. By providing this amount of healthcare, it will create jobs for those veterans in need and create even more jobs to build and staff all of these facilities. The veteran homeless population will decrease and give hope to the people who selflessly served for your freedoms. At no time should veterans benefits be a bargaining chip in any bill negotiating. Veterans should be …
On September 19, 2024, members of the Department of Veterans Affairs leadership testified before the House Committee on Veterans Affairs - Subcommittee on Technology Modernization Oversidet Hearing that they were projecting income by collecting old debts from veterans and 3rd party insurers. In this, they stated that they were billing companies for debts that were up to 6 years old (the oldest allowed by law). Companies that resisted old debts were being challenged with lawyers. These leaders al…
