Thanks, I guess. Not even thinking about double dipping or suing. If I am compelled to sue someone and I have to reimburse Medicare and the Veterans admin (what they have to do with me I don't know) for any expenses they paid for me that would be the right thing to do, no? I don't have a problem with that.
