Jeb Bush is wrong on veterans' health care

Subject: Jeb Bush is wrong on veterans' health care

Since Jeb Bush's commented on his desire to privatize veterans' health care, over 20,000 veterans, military family members, and VoteVets supporters added their name to our petition urging all presidential candidates to come out against his wrong-headed plan to put corporate profit over care for combat veterans.

That number includes over 5,000 veterans who have received care from the VA.

Privatizing veterans' health care and pushing them to doctors who often lack experience treating unique post-deployment medical issues will lead to diminished care.

There's still a lot of work to be done at the VA, but thanks to the efforts of those who fought back against attempts to block improvements to the system during a time of crisis, it's getting better. There's still work to be done, for sure, but privatizing it is the wrong answer.

Thanks for adding your name in agreement.

All the best,

Jon Soltz
Iraq War Veteran and Chairman
