This VA action would be reprehensible"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki confirmed Tuesday that the Obama administration is considering a controversial plan to make veterans pay for treatment of service-related injuries with private insurance." So let me get this straight: if we send a federalized national guard unit into combat, the resultant casualties would have to pay for their continued war-inflicted wound care with their own private insurance? If this came to pass, that would make soldiers and former soldiers uninsurable. Other than the saving of 540 million as they estimate, why would our country do this to its enforcers of national policy? This smells quite badly. what say you?
