A PUBLICATION FOR MEMBERS OF THE DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS DEPARTMENT OF NEW YORK
Volume 11, Number 6, July 2002, PAGE 3 of 5

We have received the following email from National Executive Director of the Washington, D.C. Office on June 26, 2002 retarding Mandatory VA Health Care Funding.
MANDATORY VA HEALTH CARE FUNDING
Due to perennially inadequate health care budgets, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system can no longer meet the needs of our nation's service-connected disabled veterans and other enrolled veterans. National Commander George H. Steese, National Adjutant Arthur H. Wilson, and I met with President George W. Bush on June 18, 2002, to discuss the growing VA health care crisis and the inability of our nation's service-connected disabled veterans to receive health care in a timely manner.
We shared our concern about the current funding shortfall for VA health care with President Bush and urged him to consider a proposal to make VA health care funding mandatory to ensure the viability of the VA health care system for current and future sick and disabled veterans.
Detailed information about our proposal is enclosed.
Please feel free to share this information with your local DAV chapters and local veterans. We appreciate your continued support.
DAVID W. GORMAN
Executive Director, Washington Headquarters
