My husband served on an LST in the Navy in VietNam from 1964 - 1968 but never applied for benefits thru the VA. He died of lung cancer at 59 in 2005. I've been told by the service officer at the American Legion here in OK. that had he applied prior to his death he would have been eligible but because he did not the only benefit I'm entitled to is a widow's pension and it is only if I'm destitute and make less than approx. $500 a month. Is it not possible to apply for benefits AFTER a veteran's death?

Serious, mature answers only. This seems to be a battle cry, but no one I know (of any affiliation) really knows what it means. As an educated 30 something, I would think something this supposedly bad would be easy to understand.

the letter was more like a flyer stating that the enclosed check for 2000.00 was to be activated by calling overseas. then the amount was to be used to help clear international fees.

I honestly believe that liberals don't want dialogue. They want a totalitarian system with Howard Dean as their Kim Jong Il.

Why can't most liberals discuss things like "entitlements" without bringing in their silly labels?

I'm just curious, because I was wondering how much Americans paid in taxes in comparison to Canadians. Canadians get free medical insurance for all of their citizens, while Americans do not. I was wondering if Canadians paid more- and if so, by how much?

If yes, what percentage would be fair.
If no, give a brief reason why.
Before you answer, don't factor in the people that now recieve free health care, people who do not work for whatever reason. Ignore them, I talking about the millions of people who work for small businesses who don't provide a Insurance Plan.
Local state and the federal governments provide affordable if not free heath plans to thier employees now. Why not incorpopate everyone into this plan. If a federal employee goes to work every day and pays taxes, why not make the same plan system available to the average tax payer?
If the the only hold up is that the small business cannot afford thier part, why not give them a break which factors in how many employees they have? Smaller companies pay less for they are less costly to the government.
Look at how much money is spent on discount insurance, payed in full out of pocket, and lost revinue because the patient could not pay. Insurance companies are not on your side

He never ask questions while seated on the bench. He never writes opinons and he have no original rulings he is predictable. He may as well stay at home because whatever the case is he will rule on the side of the conservatives so why do he even act like he could be impartial?
