President Obama is drawing high praise from veterans' service
organizations
for proposing a Department of Veterans Affairs budget that would exceed by
$1.3 billion what even VSOs suggested be spent next year.

No president before ever offered a VA spending plan that surpassed in size
the "Independent Budget" presented to Congress by major veterans groups.
Obama seeks to fulfill several high-profile promises made to veterans
during
his presidential campaign including a big increase in VA healthcare
budgets.


Changing the subject doesn't negate the FACT that Obama is proposing that
veterans' private insurance companies cover treatment of combat-related
injuries. All Dems polled on the issue opposed it, BTW.

So socialized medicine is best for them?
And the free market stinks?

Or you could look at it as a benefit promised by their employer.

They are free to use their own money or private insurance. Their choice.
