Comment on Obama & Veterans’ Travel Pay by usaviews

You make a valid point. However many vets don’t cheat and they desperately need the travel pay. V.A. hospitals are few and far between. The person I accompanied had to travel 2 hours one way. And he lived on $400 a month. There would have been no way he could afford to travel to the hospital and afford food and shelter, which he barely was able to do as it was, without having that necessary travel pay. They should either build the hospitals in every city otherwise we should have universal health care which is sorely needed in this country. When people are desperate they just might commit fraud. We need good solutions not threats of fewer services.

Travel pay is a terrible progam, coming from a Oif Veteran who qualifies for it as a patient and as a employee of the VA. It is a abused program, where patients often give false addresses, and purposely try to set up needless apptments like BP checks and such just to get it several times a week. The VA spends billions a year on this program for Veterans who ALREADY get 100% free health care. We could spend this money on more providers so we can get patients in earlier, or operating longer hours to accomidate the younger veterans who work 9-5′s.

Perhaps, one day, the people making the laws will have to experience the repercussions of their actions first hand. Only then will they come to understand the hardships that common folk are forced to go through. Too bad the V.A. just can’t be consistent in making things easy for their veterans.

I am also a veteran, and was sent to a fee basis Doctor. I went to my VA facility to get travel pay, and was told I would have to send it in and wait.
This was 3 weeks ago, and I have not been paid, and I have to go to the Doctor again….this isn’t cheap. It is a 4 hour drive – one way.

I don’t know whether you are “a fool” but it seems you aren’t someone UNwilling to accept the truth about MONTY ROBERTS AND HIS DESPICABLE LYING. I do suggest, however, that you not read other people’s blogs — which are other people’s OPINIONS, in addition to, as the case here, FACTS ABOUT MONTY ROBERTS — no matter how old the original posting. It is very clear that Monty has always had his cult supporters who want to hear nothing bad about the man. That’s probably why the book that was written against him by his own relatives and his own brother calling him a liar didn’t do so well — that and the fact that rich MONTY ROBERTS can afford great P.R.

I am happy to hear that travel pay to veterans may have been improved since I wrote my article. I can assure you that at the time the article was written, veterans were NOT receiving their travel pay in a timely fashion which caused many great hardship.

If you go to CITIZENSFORJUSTICE.ORG you will see a whole slew of stories and comments related to MONTY ROBERTS. Many are comments by other people who have seen Monty and heard him making BACK ROOM DEALS on getting horses into his “show” — with the HORSES ALL HAVING ALREADY BEEN BROKEN, RIDDEN AND PARTIALLY TRAINED! Monty then goes on and tells everyone they’ve never had bridles or saddles on them. You’ve been scammed by him as many others before you.

The lawsuits are old — as STATED clearly in the post file date at the END. However, you as others like you all miss the point. The man is a LIAR about his life and the things he said in his book and he stole his training methods from his own father while claiming that they are his alone. If you don’t care about the truth then that’s really too bad. As for the injuries – yes of course, there is risk in riding activities that could have been avoided if MONTY ROBERTS HAD NOT LIED ABOUT TRAINING THE HORSE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Okay, so howw does this story end? Almost everything on here is at least two years old and it seems that most of it is an attack on somebody’s character… and if I disagree I “must be a fool.” Not a good foundation for an argument. I’m going to research what happened in the end; none of you seem to be up to date enough to enlighten me with facts. Thanks for sharing your opinions.

I am a Veteran who is eligible for travel pay. I have also worked in the travel pay section. Veterans are still getting their money and do not have to wait. The only exceptions to having to wait is if the travel office is, for some reason, closed (clerk out sick, etc.) or the Veteran ***chooses*** to request travel pay mailed to him/her. Otherwise, you just walk up to the window and fill out a form and have your money (almost instantly.)
