Chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee calls for limits to VA care

Buyer calls for limits to VA care:

"Rep. Steve Buyer suggested today that federal budget constraints do not always allow every former service member to have full access to Veterans Affairs medical benefits and the government instead should focus on first serving its disabled and indigent 'core constituency.'

Buyer, installed by House Republican leaders last week as chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, also criticized veterans advocates whom he did not identify for engaging in partisan politics and promoting a national health care system for veterans."
