What is Shinseki Thinking?

It appears that Eric Shinseki is considering billing veterans' private insurance companies for the treatment of service related injuries.

I don't think that this is an attempt to bill veterans, just extract more money from their insurers, but it's a very bad idea:

• It means that they will fight their insurance companies over billing.
• It raises the costs of employers of hiring disabled vets.
• It is the first step on a slippery slope to privatizing VA care.

Put a stake through its heart now.
