Washington -- An Obama administration proposal to bill veterans' private insurance companies for combat-related injuries has prompted veterans groups to condemn the plan as unethical, and powerful lawmakers on Capitol Hill have promised to oppose it.
Nevertheless, the White House confirmed Tuesday that the idea remained under consideration, and a meeting to discuss it further is scheduled for Thursday between Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and leaders of veterans groups. the rest

There is a problem, most health insurance plans have this little exception in the terms and coverage.
In addition to the exclusions and limitations explained in the Health Care Benefits section, coverage is not provided for services and supplies: For a Condition that occurs as a result of any act of war, declared or undeclared.
Maybe this is another indication of how clueless the Obama administration is to how the "real world" operates?
