Original Note:

The VA received $119 billion in 2023, a 32% budget increase. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BUDGET-2023-BUD/pdf/BUDGET-2023-BUD-19.pdf https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/05/29/us/reports-on-va-patient-wait-periods.html https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/investigations/2021/11/01/mission-act-aid-veterans-healthcare-va-isnt-letting-it/8561618002/ https://www.kff.org/racial-equity-and-health-policy/fact-sheet/key-facts-on-health-coverage-of-immigrants/
