Days before we honored fallen veterans, the House passed a budget that hurts the vets still with us. Cuts to food. Higher health care costs. New red tape for veterans with PTSD. In Maine, that means: 🛑 3,700 vets lose food aid 🛑 Health care premiums hiked by $1,500 🛑 $400M lost to our economy 🛑 4,000 jobs lost You don’t honor veterans by jacking up their health care costs. You don’t honor sacrifice by slashing food assistance. And you certainly don’t balance the budget on the backs of the very people who served this country. You fight for the programs veterans and their families count on. (fb)
