Each disabled veteran receiving compensation represents a fixed yearly expenditure. The new wave of young disabled veterans and superior medical care, represent a substantial financial commitment for years to come. A single veterans with a 50% rating earns $97,200 every ten years. Over a 40 year life span, he/she will earn over $380,000. A buy-out option for a prescribed percentage, erases future debt burden and helps stimulates the economy. Veterans could buy homes, pay student loans, and start businesses with the buy-out funds. Medical benefits could also then be billed for buy-out takers. The plan decreases spending, cuts the require DVA budget, adds revenue from medical co-pays, and increases the financial prospects for wounded warriors.
