VA Choice Act was a politically motivated Band-Aid on a placed over severed artery. Without a re-vamp of the entire US healthcare system, The Obligation of Honor to US military Veterans cannot be fulfilled due to an overburdened, underfunded VHA and the attempt of “privatization” of the excess Veteran demand to the private sector health care system has proven abysmal. The only hope to fulfill the Obligation of Honor is a restructuring of the entire US healthcare model incorporating Universal healthcare. Undersecretary for Health Dr. Randy Petzel retired on May 15, 2014 and VA Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned two weeks later on May 30, 2014. The U. S. President appointed the Honorable Robert “Bob” McDonald as the new VA Secretary charged with making changes to the VA System.
VAI is a business that employs dedicated, caring, resourceful individuals that can keep up with the ever-changing Department of Veterans Affairs benefits available to veterans and beneficiaries within local communities. VAI’s resource base would be a non-profit that could assist with everything from disability claims, healthcare, housing, survivor benefits, and burial benefits. VAI’s goal is to provide these services free of charge to ensure no veteran or beneficiary is taken advantage of for an attorney or agent’s financial gain. Currently, attorneys or agents can charge veterans or family members can charge up to 40% of past due benefits in exchange for navigating the often confusing processes of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Attorneys or agents can only offer services that are consistent with government policies meaning there is no advantage to veterans or beneficiaries other than their knowledge of the processes.
In order to make sure the VA is providing the best care to veterans and their families the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has a performance and accountability report (PAR). PAR provides results on VA’s progress towards providing America’s Veterans with the best in benefits and health care. The goal of this report is to show how well the VA has done in providing care as well as forward-thinking strategies that are used in order to achieve and maintain excellence. Another plan that is in place to provide the best care is the VA FY 2014-2020 Strategic Plan. This plan uses past successful programs to promote further improvements in quality, customer service, preparedness, and management systems.
This will not be an easy project and most probably a timely affair. It is likely, many disabled veterans, will decline the offer of assistance, from the WWP, until the charity rebuilds their trust. “To stand beside a soldier and walk through his pain, will humble a civilian to no longer complain.” Author unknown Step 4:
Keefer Foundation: Veteran’s Outreach Program Keefer, Heather L St. Leo University Principles of Marketing MKT301 Abstract Homeless Veteran’s Outreach Program In the interest of Veterans taking care of our own, I would like to form a 501(C) Nonprofit Organization called The Keefer Foundation to assist the United States Government (USG) and the Veterans Administration in ending Veterans homelessness.

Veteran Benefits The issue of veteran benefits in the United States is not taken as seriously as it should be in our country, even though it is a growing problem that needs to be addressed. The lack of available funding for veterans is especially obvious when compared to that available for lower income citizens, or even illegal immigrants. Also, what does exist appears to fall short in taking care of veteran’s needs. Considering that these veterans are people who have risked their lives fighting for this country, the fact that they are not receiving immediate benefits or even what they have earned is unfair.
