President Obama has proposed nearly $60 billion in his budget for veterans’ health care.
The national commander of Disabled American Veterans, Bobby Barrera, gave Obama a baseball bat to thank him for “going to bat for veterans,” said David Autry, the group’s deputy national director of communications.
Barrera, a combat-disabled Marine Corps veteran, and Obama had a “very good meeting that went well beyond a photo opportunity.” They discussed difficulties with veterans’ benefits claims as well as efforts to help homeless and unemployed veterans.
Another topic in the meeting was the administration’s $125 billion budget for Veterans Affairs, roughly half of which accounts for discretionary spending intended for health care, Autry said.
