Non service connected treatment under FMP

[Jayco]

I am rated at 70%.  It is my understanding once you reach 50% you can get treated free for non service connected problems at the VA in the US.  Under the FMP you cannot.  You get treated free only for service connected problems.

 

Could someone please explain the logic of such a policy?  I live in Thailand and medical care is much cheaper here.  I would think it would be to their benefit to have everything treated under FMP as well.

 

Thanks.
