“TRICARE, CHAMPVA (Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs), and care provided by the Department o Veterans Affairs and the military”
Here they go, again ... screwing with the numbers to include the on-duty GI’s, the retired GI’s, and the military veterans, adding them into the numbers of the handmeouts!!!
Regardless if they include healthcare for veterans or those on medicare, the information is still useful. As far as I know, medicare/medicaid rates are much lower than what private insurance pays. I have no knowledge about the costs for veterans. I find it useful knowledge as private health care insurance is where the doctors and hospitals compensate for these low rates. It would also be useful if somebody knew the amount of non payment in the system that hospitals have to eat for emergency room visits and/or inability to pay for life saving procedures.
