Veterans

The first line of the above provided link is:

'The number of Veterans who can be enrolled in the health care program is determined by the amount of money Congress gives VA each year. Since funds are limited, VA set up Priority Groups to make sure that certain groups of Veterans are able to be enrolled before others.'

Congress has no problem of money going for paying for wars - but has a problem with the amount of money Congress gives the VA for the Vets that fight these wars. Something is wrong with this picture. Seems to me that when a war is approved by Congress and monies expended - some percentage of those monies should automatically go to the VA to pay for the men & women who get injured and maimed in those wars - physically or psychologically.

Now did Congress create these priority groups or did the VA set them up as a result of the limited funding that they get from Congress?

Check out the link and read the criteria under each priority. The VA is triaging Vets.

Is this triaging the basis for the current VA scandal? Why haven't we heard about these priority groups before now? How come the MSM isn't talking about this prioritization? Are we getting just half the story again from the MSM?
