If it's within our power to heal them then I say whatever the cost is fine. If it's not, then they should get whatever medical treatment can lessen the issue. Regardless of the cost.

When someone goes into a war theater and is injured following unnecessary orders, especially if their superiors should have known they were likely to be injured (having people tend toxic burn pits seems an obvious case of likely to injure), then they should be cared for to the best of the country's ability to do so.

You are so naive.  I guess I can understand that from a liberal that never served.  Regarding the part in bold, where is it documented that any service members followed "unnecessary orders"?

The other thing that you don't seem to understand is the way that government spends money.

The fact of the matter is that the bill was killed because baked into it was "unlimited" spending of money assigned to it.  Say they allocate $4B for treating service members.  They can siphon off $2B for other things not related to helping veterans.  You just don't seem to be able to comprehend that.
