Veterans Without Health Care - New York Times: "Unfortunately, in recent years enrollment of higher-income, nondisabled veterans shot up so fast that long waiting lists developed and budgets failed to keep pace, forcing a freeze on enrollments in this category. One solution would be to make all veterans eligible for care in appreciation of their service to the nation. Bills pending in Congress would end the freeze, opening the way for hundreds of thousands of veterans, possibly even a million or more, to qualify for V.A. care at a cost that could reach above $1 billion the first year and almost $9 billion over five years"
