| Junior Officer   |  VA STRAIN: Where's the money? VA STRAIN: Where's the money? The Veterans Affairs Department doesn't have enough money to properly care for a surging number of patients, critics say. Veterans complain of long waits for appointments. Some higher-income veterans who weren't disabled while in the military are turned away. And documents the Observer obtained about the Asheville and Salisbury veterans hospitals paint a picture of thin staffs struggling to properly treat patients. Story continues here.
