             May 9, 1994

             The Honorable G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery
             Chairman, Committee on Veterans' Affairs
             House of Representatives

             Dear Mr. Chairman:

             This is in response to your March 9, 1994, request for a
             section-by-section analysis of the veterans' health care
             provisions of the Administration's proposed Health Security
             Act (H.R. 3600). Our analysis consists of three parts:

                  a discussion of the veterans' health care provisions
                  contained under title VIII of H.R. 3600 that pertain
                  directly to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
                  (attachment I);

                  a discussion of other provisions of the Health
                  Security Act that mention veterans or VA (attachment
                  II);:and

                  a comparison of the health care services that would be
                  covered under the comprehensive benefits package under
                  the Health Security Act with the health care services
                  currently covered under chapter 17 of title 38 of the
                  United States Code (attachment III).

             We provided copies of the attachments to VA officials for
             their review and concurrence. Any areas of disagreement
             have been highlighted in the text.

             Copies of this analysis are also being provided to the
             Ranking Minority Member of the House Committee on Veterans'
             Affairs, to the Chairmen and Ranking Minority Members of
             the Subcommittees on Hospitals and Health Care and










                                                     GAO/HEHS-94-159R
                                        VA and the Health Security Act
