I don't know if they put a number on it yet, so I can't answer that question. But the system is broken, and he [Trump] and other Republicans are pledging to fix it. The VA Hospital is a joke. Sometimes my dad has to wait months for routine appointments. He's 100% disabled (by military metrics), so some emphasis should be applied to his appointments. Just last year the DOVA secretary resigned because of a CNN investigation that revealed widespread flaws and scandal within the VA.

Or like unborn babies, once they become a problem, the Republicans want nothing to do with supporting them?
Do you suggest we treat war veterans the same way Democrats treat unwanted babies? We can open a bunch of "Planned Veteranhood" Centers across the country.
