Merge veterans programs into national social welfare system
A Twentieth Century Fund task force urges integrating nearly all veterans programs into the general social welfare system, while preserving key benefits during transition. It backs replacing pensions with Social Security, funding health care via insurance plans, expanding VA facilities, and treating peacetime noncash benefits as guaranteed military compensation. The seven million Vietnam era veterans feature prominently in the analysis chaired by Robert Finch with prominent figures including Robert Ball.
