Help for Combat Casualties Expanded

The LA Times reports:

SAN DIEGO — In anticipation of more U.S. casualties in Iraq and the lengthy care needed for the wounded and their families, the Naval Medical Center is expanding its programs for amputees and other severely injured patients.

Also, the San Diego facility is setting up therapy groups for post-traumatic stress sufferers and — in a change that broadens the focus from just the patient — support groups for families of the wounded.
Is it true Haliburton has quietly been buying up companies that make prostetic devices, or did we just dream that?
