Ensure vets get better health care

There is a problem with the health care being given to our veterans. Despite government programs set in place, not enough has been done to ensure their proper medical treatment. Many veterans' hospitals exhibit unacceptable living conditions. They tend to be understaffed and in many cases inconveniently located to serve the people who require their services. Also, many times there are hoops to jump through and red tape to deal with in order to unlock the benefits they are entitled to. In short, after all that they have done for our country, more needs to be done to ensure our veterans receive proper medical care.
