afraid of talking about raising taxes. Have people forgotten that taxes are how we pay for things such as veteran's healthcare?

I am the daughter of a Marine Corps Veteran. We lived at Camp Lejeune, NC for 3 years, 1957-60, During this time the water at the Camp was contaminated. There is a list of diseases that if I, my mother or brothers get, the VA will cover the cost of our care. If you have insurance that is the primary payer, and my copays, etc. are picked up by the VA. This was instituted by the Federal Govt.

Now I'm not looking for any of us to get sick, but if we do, at this time we don't have to really worry about becoming poor. However if the system is privatized, I can't see that being the case.

Fuck the repugs and the horse they rode in on.
