              THE NEED FOR LEGISLATION TO  AUTHORIZE

         VA RECOVERIES FROM PRIVATE HEALTH  INSURANCE AND

       PROPOSALS TO ESTABLISH A MEANS TEST  FOR DETERMINING

            VETERANS' ELIGIBILITY FOR VA HEALTH  CARE



Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     We are pleased to be here  today to discuss our February 26,

1985, report, which recommended passage of  legislation to

authorize VA to recover the costs of  care provided to privately

insured veterans for non-service-connected medical  conditions.

In addition, we will discuss our May  3, 1985, report, which

provided information that may be useful  to the Congress and VA

in projecting the potential effects of  a means (income) test

used to determine whether veterans with non-service-connected

disabilities would be eligible  for treatment in VA facilities.
