--RICHARD COWAN-- Feb 27, 2014 (Reuters) - 'U.S. Senate Republicans blocked legislation on Thursday that would have expanded federal healthcare and education programs for veterans, saying the $24 billion bill would bust the budget. Even though the legislation cleared a procedural vote on Tuesday by a 99-0 vote, the measure quickly got bogged down in partisan fighting. Supporters said the measure would have brought the most significant changes in decades to U.S. veterans' programs. For example, it called for 27 new medical facilities to help a healthcare system that is strained by veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.' More vets died today from suicide than died in combat. Happy Memorial Day when we take care of our vets. This is an outrage. To fix the challenge: 1. End bail outs by reinstating Glass-Steagall standards of banking, 2. Initiate a continental water management project hiring 5 million people, 3. Impeach any leader that stands in the way of Glass-Steagall and/or NAWAPA, 4. Reinstate Hill-Burton health careNov 26th, 2013Someone from Springfield, OH signed.

My dad suffered from untreated PTSD after serving five years in the military. It affected him terrible and his children and grandchildren still suffer as a result of what we lost having a father who was a fractured soul. He got no help. These vets deserve the best care money can buy and our country has the resources to help them. Shame on our government for not providing top notch care to our vets. These are tax dollars well worth spent and this problem affects their families for generations.REPORT COMMENTS

As someone who was in that place, where Suicide seemed The Solution, I got help, and was told - repeatedly until it sank in - "Suicide is A Permanent Answer to A Temporary Problem" Don't Make Politics As Usual The PROBLEM that Won't Go Away for Our Vets! FIX the problems, that's what you were elected to do, in God's Name if not in the Name for all our Vets, living and dead - sadly by their own hand. I hope you have a rough time sleeping, until constructive action is taken in this urgent matter. "Thanking You In Advance"REPORT COMMENTS

There are no good reasons for not having this program already. What are we waiting for? Every 80 minutes we lose another vet or service member to suicide. When will enough be enough?REPORT COMMENTS

It took my more than half of my life to understand that my father a WW2 vet who served for five years on the battlefront in Europe was suffering severely from PTSD. It affected our whole family and still does even though he is long gone. His mind would go black and he couldn't think whenever he was under stress. He was highly intelligent and had a soul that wouldn't hurt a fly. His life and in many ways ours were tormented by his war experience. I am not a liberal nor a democrat, but these soldiers deserve the best medical care the country has to offer. They shouldn't have to beg for it, or be left not knowing what is wrong with them. Shame on the US for not taking care of the military. We have the best medical care available in the world and these people should have it at their disposal.REPORT COMMENTS

As an American and a heath care professional, I believe this program would be extremely beneficial to the men & women who risk their lives to protect ours. Counseling & overall support for our troops shouldn't even be a question or up for debate. After all they give for us they deserve nothing less than all from our government. It's ludicrous and completely irresponsible for our so called leaders to not recognize the need to care for these heroes. I fully support any and all programs that benefit the ongoing treatment & monitoring of our troops. Who wouldn't need mental heath services after seeing the horrors of war? My thoughts any prayers go out to all who truly have served this country and done their all to provide me with a sence of security. Thank you all & God bless you & your families!REPORT COMMENTS

A program like this should have been in place over 10 years ago. The problems we are having within the Veteran population could have been vastly reduced or addressed more easily if this had been in place. I am a Service Disabled Veteran.REPORT COMMENTS
