Medical
care is changing rapidly. Twenty-five years ago, nearly all Americans
had indemnity insurance coverage. A person with indemnity medical insurance
could go to any doctor, hospital or other provider, and the insurance
company and the patient would each pay part of the medical bill. Today,
more than half of all Americans who have insurance are enrolled in some
kind of managed care plan, an organized way of both providing services
and paying for them. Check your current VA medical insurance
rates above.
