VA Health Care Reform: Financial Implications of the Proposed Health
Security Act (Testimony, 05/05/94, GAO/T-HEHS-94-148).

This testimony discusses the financial and policy implications of the
veterans' health care provisions in the administration's proposed Health
Security Act. GAO focuses on (1) veterans health coverage under
Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) and other federal programs; (2)
factors that will likely affect the potential population of enrollees in
VA health plans; (3) the potential costs associated with the expanded
entitlement and supplemental benefits provisions of the Health Security
Act; and (4) VA's ability to set realistic premiums and the implications
of inaccurate premiums for cost, quality, and access to care for VA
clients.
