President Obama, don't pass the buck of veteran's care

Good luck to them! According to Blue Cross/Blue Shield, which we had at the time my husband's claim was tied up, the insurance companies do not have to cover any services related to serving the nation. According to them, it's the responsibility of the government to cover any condition caused, or related to serving this nation. If the insurance industry can figure that one out, then what the hell is wrong with Congress and what is President Obama thinking? He cannot pass the buck onto them for what serving this nation cost them in blood, body and mind.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Veterans groups are warning President Barack Obama against going ahead with a possible administration move to charge veterans' private health care for service-related injuries.

Veterans groups say it's "wholly unacceptable" to charge their private insurance for service injuries.

In a letter sent by 11 of the most prominent veterans organizations, the groups warned that the idea "is wholly unacceptable and a total abrogation of our government's moral and legal responsibility to the men and women who have sacrificed so much."

CNN obtained a copy of the letter sent to the White House last Friday by groups including The American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, Military Order of the Purple Heart, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. Read the letter (PDF)

A White House spokesman would neither confirm nor deny the option is being considered.
