their specific geographic area (Medicine News, 2007). This Priority 8 classification has only been in effect since 2003 when the President initiated it to contain the costs of health benefits
provided by the veterans administration (Medicine News, 2007). Nearly 13 percent of all veterans fall under the ban to services per the requirements just identified (Medicine News, 2007). And, that
