And any increase has to be real, not illusory - it has to take into account health care inflation (which is higher than regular inflation), and the increased numbers of people who need it, since obviously if the number of vets who need it is growing (and it is), but the pie stays the same or grows only a little, that's less of the pie per person. Or maybe you can just refute the numbers given in the report I linked to. Good luck.
