Reply #4: There was no additional requirement on Vets

The administration was considering charging health insurance plans earned through civilian employment for costs in treating service-connected injuries or ailments where those ailments were already covered by their existing plan.

There would have been no break in treatment. This would have recovered insurance costs that had already been paid for. The total raised would have amounted to $.5 billion. Small fry. The Insurance lobby quite simply did not want to pay what they should have bee paying for and they won this small battle.

I trust that they will now reduce the fees that they charge, given that they do not have to pick up that cost.
