The cost of mending troops
‘It could cost the VA at least $350 billion to provide disability compensation and health care to Afghanistan and Iraq veterans, according to a Harvard University researcher’s conservative estimate. Those costs could climb as high as $663 billion, if many troops remain at war much longer and health care costs inflate. . . Veterans groups worry that escalating costs could lead the agency to ration resources by delaying or limiting access to health care and by taking longer to process disability claims.’
