It is imperative that conflicting messages do not get out there and confuse veterans.

We strongly urge the Committee to approve H.R. 288, the 'CHAMPVA Children's Protection Act of 2013,' introduced by Ranking Member Michaud that would increase the eligibility age to 26.

Have you given any thoughts, because the states have to play a role if they go into the exchanges, what it is going to look like and what have you, what affect will it have for some states who do not want to participate working with Health…

That might be true if a veteran lives near a VA health care facility, but if you have a veteran that lives a distance away...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for holding this timely hearing today.

Yeah, I want to just try to further understand, you know, whether or not the ACA would be a disincentive for veterans or an incentive for veterans to leave the VA health care system.

But does she qualify for the tax credit?

But what about that veteran for whatever reason is still using his primary health care because he is getting the excellent care he needs because he lives a long distance away from the VA, say in this particular case, for military sexual…

So I mean what we try to do is give veterans sort of the maximum flexibility.

Yeah, because it will make a big difference to that veteran because it would be confusing enough, then, for the VA employee.

Hopefully it is common sense.
