Vet groups urge House to reject plan to fix VA's budget gap

Basically yes. As the article states in part: "“Veterans’ health care benefits have already been ‘paid for’ through the service and sacrifice of the men and women who wore our nation’s uniform, millions of whom suffered injuries, illnesses and lifelong disabilities,” the groups said. “If new funding is directed only or primarily to private-sector ‘Choice’ care without any adequate investment to modernize VA, the viability of the entire system will soon be in danger.”. Choice care sounds good as an ancellary option to relieve backlogs, but why not alos invest in modernizing the brick and mortar part of the VA?
