CNN Political Ticker: Obama Pursuing Budget Plan Veterans Oppose

CNN Political Ticker quoted IAVA Executive Director and Founder Paul Rieckhoff in this article about veteran groups' opposition to a potential third-party billing proposal from the Obama Administration, which would charge veterans' private health insurance for service-related injuries.

"Veterans of all generations agree that this proposal is bad for the country and bad for veterans. If the president and the OMB want to cut costs, they can start at AIG, not the VA," said Paul Rieckhoff, the group's executive director, in a written statement.
