He is the veteran, not me?

The eligibility rules for VA Health Care are complicated. Yes, income might be a deciding factor among the many. There are many issues such as Medal of Honor recipient, VA disability, Honorable discharge, service during certain dates, and many others. For example, I have an honorable discharge after 24 years service including the Vietnam era. My service is all very nice but that alone isn't enough for VA health care. Thankfully, I was not injured, I wasn't a Prisoner of War, and I don't have a certified VA disability. Plus, my income level rules out VA Health Care Certification.
Here is a comprehensive site to read - and it will take you some time to read, study and understand:
VA Priority Groups | Veterans Affairs
That contains lots of information but after studying it, you will be in a better position to ask VA for amplification. Best of luck.
