More Details On Those Proposed Changes to VA Health Care

I wrote last week that the Obama administration was considering changes to how Veterans Affairs bills for veterans' health care. At the time, the details of the proposed changes weren't clear. As it's been explained to me, this is how it would work: right now, for veterans who have health insurance in addition to the TRICARE insurance they pay for, the VA bills the other insurance before they bill TRICARE. The idea would be to switch wounded veterans to the same payment order. I'm still not sure why the Obama administration is considering this. But that appears to be what the change is.
