the insurance
John J. Weaver
As a Cold War Veteran, and a member of the American Cold War Veterans Association, I urge everyone to vote for this bill. After all, these Veterans were injured protecting the United States of American and they deserve the support of every true American! These men and women are all volunteers and they went into harms way so that other people could sleep warm in their beds at night.
Are you going to deny them Life Insurance now???

How could anyone be against something that benfits some one who fought for your right just to have this vote. They need these benefits.Its under 9 dollars.

FOR THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I too am a 100% disabled veteran and truly understand the dilemma of each posting. I've tried, to no avail, Googling any and all insurance company that would provide life insurance for me and support my family. Disable service members definitely need this legislation to pass to assist the many of us who needsLife-insurance!

I strongly concur that life insurance should be available to veterans who suffer service connected disabilities.
My husband served honorably in the US Army. He retired with 100% service connected disability.
To this day he suffers from injuries sustained in a copter crash in Viet Nam.
For all his honorable service he is unable to find life insurance (aside from his VGLI).We are thankful for what he does have but would appreciate the ability to have more insurance.

why can't an individual with cronic kidney disease be granted a mortgage insurance,and be recommended for the specialty housing act,because this individual is probably in worse shape than any of the personnel that have lost an arm or a leg. i think that should be looked into.

To deny American veterans benefits is simply wrong. The Filipino vets are American vets because the Philippines was a U.S. territory when the Japanese invaded the country.

I was hit by a drunk driver on June 31st, 2002. I immediatey was placed on life support. I was on life support for 2 weeks and in a coma an aditional 2 weeks. I broke my neck and had to wear a HALO device. I wore the HALO from August to Ocotober. If I would have had this injury in 2006 I would qualify for TSGLI. But because they only have the retroactive set back for those in a combat zone I do not qualify. My mother flew back from Germany and stayed at the hospital with me for the whole event. My father, sister, brother, uncle, and step-father all missed work. Then they had to travle inorder to support me and my rehabilitation. I owe them everything for helping me in my recovery. This event took a toll on my whole family and we would greatly benefit when this bill is passed. Thanks to all who participated in making this bill!
