Not for this. The VA is the appropriate provider, that is the promise. Unka George

As to the secondary with VA. That would mean that whatever insurer was primary would be
able to shove the vet into a HMO or whatever arrangement. That would mean every vet had

This is bad on multiple levels. Honor the promise. The military is pretty strong on
honor. Sorry if you don't get it, this is not a put down, but loyalty up and down the
line is part of the ethos.
