Solution - discontinue h/c coverage for all veterans who do not have a service connected disability.
Then, award vouchers to those who do.

Obtaining the VA admission of a service connected disability can be far too difficult. It’s almost as if when one walks in for the interview that the VA has a “gotcha” attitude where they are looking for the slightest reason to deny any service connection.

At age 60, I became eligible for TRICARE. Covered all my medical expenses at no cost. At age 65, I became eligible for MEDICARE. TRICARE became TRICARE for Life and I had to pay for MEDICARE Part B. I’m grateful for the TRICARE coverage but it seems strange that veterans have to pay for MEDICARE part B.
