Wounded troops recieving buyouts but there is a catch
First before the story that Stars and Stripes make sound so great. If you take the cash payout your droped to the bottem of the waiting list for your health care. We have three kids who took this payout .They are told they have to wait for care. Now the bull!

Nearly 2,700 seriously wounded servicemembers have recieved cash payouts in the first nine months of the new traumatic injury insurance program,Officails from the Department of Veterans Affairs said.

Thomas Lastowka,director of the VA Insurance Center ,said the program has spent about $165 million on grants between $25,000 and $100,000 since it began last December.


Ok think about this your told you have to wait for care how long do you think the money will last .That my point here its bull crap.
