Obama Backing Off Plan to Make Veterans Pay For Treatment of Service Related Injuries With Private Insurance

Obama had been considering a plan that would make injured war veterans pay for medical expenses with private insurance (Berman Post: Obama Administration Considering Making Veterans Pay For Treatment of Service Related Injuries With Private Insurance and Berman Post: Obama Moving Forward With Making Veterans Pay For Treatment of Service Related Injuries With Private Insurance: "Making Veterans Pay For Treatment of Service Related Injuries With Private Insurance").

It seems the popular backlash has made Obama reconsider. Obama has said that he will not pursue the plan.

Watch Jon Stewart rip into the plan.
