Summary:

When the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) health care system was established in 1930, neither public nor private health insurance programs were available to American veterans. With the subsequent growth of public and private health insurance programs, most veterans today have alternatives to VA health care. National health care reform could further reduce the number of veterans lacking health insurance. This briefing report determines (1) how many veterans are receiving services under other federal health programs and the cost of providing those services and (2) how many veterans using VA services are eligible to receive care under other federal programs.
