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..................

takes anyone, right away, and worries about wringing the
money out of you
later. I'm 53, without insurance, and I'd be
bankrupt if I went into a
hospital (of course the only way they would get me into one
would be if I
was unconscious)..
