        ...hmmm I wonder if what's under consideration is providing private insurance to veterans so that they can seek treatment wherever they want.

        The "it" in "it's under consideration" - the entirety of the source of the article, it seems, is undefined. Why not reveal the question as well? That which "it" refers to would be there. I suppose it might be much less offensive to us all if they did.

            This article seems to be a bit out of context, PC25. Care to provide a link that reflects ALL of the considerations of this supposed plan? Was there to be any consideration for providing private coverage so that the vets could go where ever they pleased?

            Thanks

              Confusing.

              Is the administration trying to make vets pay for treatment of their injuries, or is the administration looking to make commercial insurance pay primary, as it does with many Medicare (MSP) beneficiaries?

              These are two separate issues. If the agenda is to make vets pay out of pocket, its shameful. If it is merely a question of coordination of benefits, Hotair bimbos should stop living up to their names and speak plainly.
