Service connected soldiers who have less then 20 years are not eligible for Tri-care. If a person is in a civilian hospital and VA is not notified within 24 hours the vet pays the bill.

I would prefer that my husband would let me get him private health care but he won't, so....... Just passing on info that might be of help to someone. He's a disabled Vietnam combat vet with all the paperwork to prove it. He's right, they owe him, I just hope they don't kill him.

Prayers for him. . .and I hope he listens to you.
