It will open just as the orginal "Saving Pvt Ryan".
It will follow the same format.
But this sequel will have the Older Pvt Ryan going to the VA for treatment of what we now know that he has suffered since coming home;
PTSD
While being interviewed to show that he has "The Means" in the "Means Room".
He will then be informed that he must make a $15.00-$80.00 co-payment before being treated.
He would be required to make a 1,500.00 deductible if his was to be hospitalized.
All his meds would require a $3.00 Co-payment.
In the orginal "Saving Pvt Ryan" nothing was said of his life's work.
He might have returned to the farm.
Farms have fallen on hard times recently.
So he doesn't have money to burn.
Politicians on the other hand have their hand in the till.
"Here's the thanks for your service "Pvt Ryan".
Will Pvt Ryan be taking out a loan to make his deductible?
If this was real, we wouldn't show up to see this sequel.
But all those co-payments and deductible will soon be part of every Veteran who served.
It's interesting to read that the lowest veterans needing service might be asked or be denied service.
Who will make that judgement.
The rankings go from 1 the highest piority to 8 the lowest piority.
At the moment I'm a 4.
It's sad that we come to such a sorry state in the treatments of veterans.
We got money for all these programs and weapons.
But none for treatment of those suffering from their service to the Nation.

This was in a way a reply to "A Bad American".
These extra burdens on Veterans is not in keeping to what that article says.
We hump the load and then some.
More than those that had "OTHER PIORITIES".
Now they get the best of care, while Veterans have to make co=payments and deductibles!
Where the justice in all this?
Inquiring minds want to know.
So I made up that they were planning a sequel to "Saving Pvt Ryan".
But the theme are my thoughts as a "Bad American".
