3. I'm confused.
The Huffington Post article that you link starts out as follows:

Democrats in Congress are organizing to squash a White House proposal that would require veterans to use private insurance to pay for treatment of their combat and service-related injuries.

You wrote:

The battle was about a small proposal to make insurance companies pay for non military sicknesses where the Vet had ALREADY paid insurance premiums. There were no extra co-pays and tapping "third party" insurance already EXISTS within the system. The proposal was an extension of what existed already.

Which was it? "Combat and service-related injuries" or "non-military sicknesses?"

Would you please clarify?
