I wonder if ABC will reimburse the taxpayers for all the expenses.... So any civilian should be able to get treated at a U.S. military hospital just by paying for it? What would you say to military retirees who are turned away becasue there is no "space available" for treatment and yet they have room to treat a civilian journalist? I don't understand this situation.

Slim chance...I'd get treated...

I simply wondered if, the treatment having already been provided, Woodruff's and Vogt's employer would reimburse the government for the cost of the transportation and the care.
