Rep. Michaud vows to oppose proposed VA change

View the original

I have never served in the military, and only have limited knowledge of how the VA medical system works. For example, I didn't realize that currently when a vet is treated at a VA hospital for something not related to her or his time in the service, the VA bills that person's 3rd party insurance company. And at first blush, this seems like a reasonable method.

The Obama administration is proposing that this billing system be extended to all treatment that a vet receives, and this troubles Rep. Mike Michaud, and he notes in this letter to Eric Shinseki, Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs:

Dear Secretary Shinseki,

With the release of the Administration's first budget request, a new policy proposal has been introduced as a means of collecting revenue for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) through billing of veterans' third-party insurance for the care and treatment of a disability or illness incurred as a result of honorable military service.
