[QUOTE="SMS, post: 3300439, member: 42"] Kinda sorta right Dennis. Even though it's not insurance, being qualified to receive VA healthcare benefits DOES qualify as proper insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Folks can receive care for non-service connected conditions, and the last time I looked at the numbers, a large number of people receive care for those conditions...a shocking amount actually (priority groups 1-3 are primarily service connected but there are tons of patients receiving care in groups 4-8). Here's the primary list of qualifying factors (priority group assigned by the VA): [LIST] [*]Receive financial compensation (payments) from VA for a service-connected disability [*]Were discharged for a disability resulting from something that happened to you in the line of duty [*]Were discharged for a disability that got worse in the line of duty [*][URL='https://www.va.gov/health-care/eligibility/active-duty']Are a recently discharged combat Veteran[/URL] [*]Get a VA pension [*]Are a former prisoner of war (POW) [*]Have received a Purple Heart [*]Have received a Medal of Honor [*]Get (or qualify for) Medicaid benefits [*]Served in Vietnam between January 9, 1962, and May 7, 1975 [*]Served in Southwest Asia during the Gulf War between August 2, 1990, and November 11, 1998 [*]Served at least 30 days at Camp Lejeune between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987 [/LIST] If none of those apply, you can get healthcare based on financial hardship.
