Obama out to screw vets

Exactly.  Before we had the local clinic, many vets had to make the trip to Biloxi.  The local clinic gives excellent care.  Meanwhile, Sen. Sanders' bill passed, I think largely due to public pressure.  Thank you, Sen. Sanders.

Acute problems were treated at local hospitals and not transferred to Biloxi. Patients treated in Biloxi had long term chronic problems.
