WASHINGTON (CNN) – During the Town Hall portion of Sunday’s debate, Carol, a social worker in New Hampshire who has a son serving in Iraq asked why veterans “cannot receive medical services at the hospital of their choice.” Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, who serves on the Senate Committee on Veterans affairs said he believes veterans “should be going to V.A. hospitals unless they have difficulty accessing and it places a hardship on the family, then they should be exempted and can go to others.” Gov. Bill Richardson, D-New Mexico replied by saying he would give veterans a health care card that would allow them to go to any hospital or doctor of their choice. – CNN Political Researcher Xuan Thai Filed under: Barack Obama Bill Richardson
