If he has his way we ALL are going to lose our health benefits starting with the eldest and working it’s way down.
Well, we as a nation had the choice in 2008. We could vote for a Veteran or a freeloader for President. We got the freeloader along with his criminal pals.
Please hear me out and don't flame me. Raising co-pays and deductibles is happening to everyone. It is a huge necessity because it makes a person really think before going to the doctor - the patient has a financial stake in the decision. This is being applied to all medical benefits, including the richest private plans as well as to plans for the poor (Medicaid). All I'm saying is before you pan this decision please read about it and think it through logically.
Have I mentioned how much I hate this paper-hanging SOB we have soiling the Oval Office?
The President is dishonoring troops and hurting the military’s recruiting power.
If the repblicans let this go through they might as well shut off the lights, give Obama the keys, and go back to shaking down their home towns.
It’s a matter of balance. The money saved by reducing health benefits for troops can be used for contraception coverage for female law students at exclusive colleges.
Is this comment true in that article? Why is this guy not demanding more for our military? He is comparing his chef son to someone who fought their country?
I get Tricare Prime healthcare. I will say to people who are complaining to stop. It is based on a person’s rank at retirement. I am not complaining because we pay $460 a year. While my son is a cook at a chain eatery who makes $12.00 per hour and pays alittle over $400.00 a month for a family of 4. Now I find that outrages. He used to get 2 weeks a yr vacation time. He has been there over 12 yrs and their bosses took away a week from the employees except for the managers. My dad and fathe-in-law both retired from the military at a time that they and their families got free health care for life. Now they can’t do it anymore. I don’t like having to pay for the health care but we are still better off then alot of people so stop complaining. I know I got our monies worth with all my health issues. If you don’t like it don’t take it. It is that simple.

By the end of the year, our military will be about the same size as a relatively large Boy Scout troop and have an average age of 13.4 so they won’t need too much healthcare.
However, the POTUS will not be able to commit them to war without getting a permission slip from their parents!
Just think how much more money could be saved if soldiers were required to buy their own bullets and bombs! I’m sure one of BHO’s academic genius’ will propose that next.
I don’t have much of a problem with a modest increase in Tricare prices. After my husband retired, we paid $460/year, which is almost nothing when compared to comparable civilian policies. Now we get Tricare “free”, and I really wouldn’t mind having to pay modestly for the benefit. I do think that the junior enlisted should have their Tricare fully subsidized; heaven knows, they don’t earn much as it is.
Well, I’m sure that they’ll use the money they save by screwing Veterans to reduce the national debt instead of using it for something so blatant as buying votes for the Democrat party. Oh, that’s right......it is the Democrats....spend my money well little Democrat freeloader.....I didn’t mind defending you, but do you have to rob me as a way of showing thanks?
I only recently started using the VA medical system. All of my copays on drugs are $8. Three of them I can get at Walmart or Target for $4. I’m doing a new means test next month and I’m probably going to have to start paying copays for office visits and medical procedures (hope I don’t need any soon). And I don’t make much.
Troops & vets should form unions. Barry loves union benefits.
He raises the budget to record levels and then cuts the crap out of the military as if he is doing something about the deficit. What an a**hat.
Should you be F'ing with the pitbull you trained to kill on command? Probably not.
....to expect anything different from a lying Constitution stomping, American hating MUSLIM would be puzzling
