[QUOTE="SMS, post: 3017476, member: 42"] It's all out there on the VA's website. I'm on mobile right now but here's a snip from 2003 with projections (yeah it's old but it paints the picture): The greatest growth in expenditures from FY 2002 to FY 2012 occurs with Priority Group 7, driven largely by the increase in Priority 7 enrollment. Priority 7 expenditures will increase 268 percent (from $2.6 billion to $9.6 billion); [B]Expenditures for Priority 4-6 are expected to increase 89 percent for the same time period. [/B] Taken from: [URL]https://www.va.gov/HEALTHPOLICYPLANNING/enroll02/Fnl925Doc.pdf[/URL] There's another section that shows the patient breakdown by priority group. 4 through 8 vastly outnumber 1 through 3. I'll try to find it later. I love vets. I'm officially a disabled vet (I don't receive extra compensation since I'm below 50% and am a retiree). My family is filled with vets. I just think we can do better by those who where truly affected by their service. I personally don't use the VA hospitals for that reason. At a time when our country is broke, one very logical way to fix it is to reserve healthcare expenditures for those who who have truly service connected issues. I don't think that's unreasonable.
