Is it just me or is there a simple common sense solution to the Veteran’s Affair disaster?
The President’s 2015 Budget includes $163.9 billion for VA in 2015.
Then use the VA’s number for vets: Call it 22 million.
Last, the average cost of insurance:
As of February 24, 2014, the average premium for an individual health plan selected through eHealth without a subsidy was $274 per month…
So, do the math.
$274 a month is $3,288. Across 22 million vets you get $75,000,000,000.
Double the price of the plan and you STILL are $14 billion to the good.
