Will war veterans be exempt from new health care laws?

Update:

@Sayagain... so what yourt saying is that if I am able bodied and able to work I can't use my veteran hospital benefits? Until now I have and the costs are based on my income which I have been fine with.

Update 2:

lare... I am self employed, no other employees. Qualified.

    Veterans discharged with a disability get VA health care. Able bodied veterans will get health care like ordinary citizens. you have been getting VA care without having qualified? wish i could do the same. nothing changes on that score until your state establishes a health insurance exchange, and you will participate in that on a subsidized basis if you are not covered by employer plan, medicare or state medicaid.
