We need to have more money coming in than going out through taxing to balance the benefits of the first 2 years. There are many VA hospitals out there that don't have good care and effectiveness. The facilities and people currently under care should be a priority in the initial process. We also need to look at the root of the problem and invest more time, money, and effort in the prevention of illness and disease. We should incorporate nutrition stores, personal training services, and better education with prevention to make this a group effort. There needs to be more community leadership and school involvement with this entire process to get the word out there. Tightening up on diet and fast food regulations should be a priority and a slow process.
