Bush cut VA Hospital funding right after he came into office. He slashed 90 doctors and 900 nurses. I got that info directly from a VA doctor who works in the West LA VA hospital. I confirmed that in 2003. That was just for starters. But there was more. Bush slashed longterm health care and disability payments, then after the war started he didn't put it back. Instead, many wounded troops came back from Iraq and were charged for medical care and even food in the hospitals. Then the plan to shut down Walter Reed. It was Pelosi, Kerry and more liberal congressmen who fought to get the health care benefits for vets re-instated. The GOP finally forced Bush to put back 1 billion just because they were afraid of it as an election issue in 2006. That's the only reason Bush agreed, not out of concern for wounded troops. Bottomline, Bush is no friend of the troops. Clearly, Bushies want the wounded troops to start paying their HMO and Pharma friends and to make them more profits. They frown on free health care from the government, except in their own cases of course.
