Boren, Others Oppose Obama Veterans Plan

Democratic Congressman Dan Boren issued a letter to President Obama today in opposition to a provision in his proposed budget to force veteran’s with privately-held health insurance coverage to submit medical claims to that insurance plan rather than to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs.

Boren urged the President to evaluate the ramifications of setting this precedent for the future care of veterans and reconsider its implementation.

Congresswoman Mary Fallin and the other Republican members of the delegation also announced their strong opposition to Obama's proposal.
