VA suspends enrolling high income veterans in care
The VA will pause health care enrollment for higher income veterans not disabled by service related illnesses through 2003. The move challenges 1996 policy to open care to nearly all veterans and affects an estimated portion of veterans. Critics urge long term funding solutions while supporters note fiscal constraints and policy goals.

The route would connect Ojinaga Presidio and border towns to streamline West Texas trucking and broaden the Midland Odessa Transportation Alliance’s reach.
