Remember a few years back, when Democrats threw a fit over Bush’s supposed ideas on health care for veterans in 2004? This from the Democratic Policy Committe: Bush to Veterans: Pay More, Wait Longer, Receive Less Health Care. Notice this is .gov domain.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki confirmed Tuesday that the Obama administration is considering a controversial plan to make veterans pay for treatment of service-related injuries with private insurance. …
No official proposal to create such a program has been announced publicly, but veterans groups wrote a pre-emptive letter last week to President Obama voicing their opposition to the idea after hearing the plan was under consideration.
