The OP implied that the vet was poor. Actually the VA disability payment for a 100% disabled individual is a bit over $3,600 a month which is tax exempt. If the vet is drawing Social Security, he should be receiving about $1,600 a month. By my math that is $5,200 a month income. Now if he is drawing retirement pay for his military service that could be another $1,500 or so a month. How many villagers have that much income?

If the vet is eligible for Tri Care medical coverage, he should not have any out of pocket expense for medical care.

So "what the hell does this have to do with anything"? This vet is not destitute.
