System. wilkie needs to explain the difference and is very good at understanding and he will do a good job on that. >> that brings the mission act, what about expansion of the caregivers program? >> family caregivers dont know what the program is. and you cant take care of yourself, the caregivers program allows you to have a family member take care of you so you can stay home rather than going to a new institution and this will expand it, takes a few years to get fixed and the it systems were p...

Of the mission act. another part of that mission act expands the caregiver program to cover all veterans not just post 9/11 vets. the v.a. says they are working to continue to improve the appeals process within that program. but what else needs to be done? joining us now to discuss christopher, a former u.s. army police sergeant, military police sergeant and iraq war vet. also republican strategist. chris, thanks for being here this morning. not a lot of people know about this program. there was...

Educational opportunities for veterans, for a caregiver program which is just revolutionary in what it is trying to do, they have a good record, they are serious people. i enjoy working with them. >> is what the administration announced in recent days the right quick fix, which is that if there is more than a two-week waiting period that vets can then go into the other part of the system to regular other hospitals until they can get in to the va and i take your point that all the veterans i spea...
