Wouldn't the Blue Cross be the "Part B" or "Part C" to medicare?  I think 
that is the way it works, but they keep changing the plans.  My MIL lived 
with us when she died (well, she actually died in the hospital).  She also 
had a private plan -- I believe it was Blue Cross, and meidcare and she had 
full VA benefits.  She went to private and VA doctors and hospitals, for 
different needs.  She died in the VA.   Now, the VA would bill her private 
insurance, and maybe medicare?  She received very good care, but many people 
get lost in the VA system.  I don't know a good answer.  I just don't want 
the same people who run the damn I RS or the DMV running the health care 
system..................
