Not.
Does it surprise anyone that we can add one more lie to those being told about this abomination? Does it surprise anyone that it came out less than 48 hours before they'll vote on it?
Friends this is late, really LATE in the game, but it seams all my calls were met with dishonesty, I am a military wife, who has served our country in the AF, with family that is retired, to read what Skelton has said, whom I detest, this press release shows the dishonesty that the dems will go to, to the very end to pass Obamacare and NOW those who sacrifice and their families will be screwed by HCR.
Please pass this along, there is a protest in DC tomorrow, folks need to know this to make their voice known, as the vote is being done on the weekend where our calls will be ignored.
Thank you, for all those who will make sure the voice of our bravest and their families will NOT be ignored.
Holy C$$$!!! I have been exposed to Ike and the Skelton family since the early 80s. I truly believed Ike’s No vote on obabacare was because he had cover. After this, I can’t help but think that he is sincere.
I tried to get through to Skelton’s DC office yesterday and today, but to no avail. I was under the impression he did not support the current health care legislation. I wanted to tell him he needed to lean heavy on his fellow dems to abide by the Constitution. Now it sounds as if he’s accepted that it’s going to pass and is making a move to limit it’s effect on service members. That’s all fine and dandy, God Bless our service members, but what about the rest of us folks that have decent health insurance. Not only are the health benefits of our military folks threatened, but the very freedoms they have fought for. No one should be forced into abiding by this unconstitutional garbage!
Bump - friggin pissed beyond belief at this bump
Screwing our military Ping
Please help this go viral - we need this report to go to all of our ping lists (I apologize if some were pinged twice)
BUMP.....
So effective Oct 1, 2010 my cost for TCFL will jump from zero to $2,888/year for me and $2,888/year for wife or cost close to $6000. I haven't seen the numbers that will come out of our Express Scripts yet. Will be lucky if ES is still in business when all this hits the fans.
And the One says it will only be a tiny increase?
Under the Senate bill, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.)
So that brings it up to around $10K/year for wife and me from what used to be zero for all those who served their full retirement or were 30% or more disabled upon service connected retirement discharge.
Those who gave their all have just been tossed in the trash can.
And what about those Veterans who are permanently and totally disabled and get their care through the VA? Do they who have have to pay the “surcharge”?
The content of any final bill is irrelevant! Any federal version of health care is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not specifically grant Congress the power to regulate health care! The people are not bound to comply with any unconstitutional act of Congress! This is the point people need to hammer home with their Congress critters!

KILL THE BILL!!!!
Come November, KICK their nasty BUTTS out!
This is an on the record vote against military members, their families, veterans, and retired military. Any Senator who voted for this bill knew (or should have known) what was in it, and could have offered an amendment (or held out for a big deal to get an amendment) which could have addressed TriCare. Any House Member who votes for this (via direct vote or Demon Pass) is voting against military members, their families, veterans, and retired military This should be an issue in any state with a significant military or veteran population in all upcoming elections. Let’s make this vote a millstone around incumbent Dems necks.

2010 will be the Waterloo for the Democrat House, and the year of significant gains in the Senate. 2012 must be the Waterloo for the Democrat Senate and Obama. In 2013 the roll-back begins. We have a three-year campaign in front of us to restore freedom.
THIS INFORMATION MUST SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE TO EVERY MILITARY VETERAN!
Post it anywhere and everywhere. All veterans must know this.
Yet Ike Skelton is for Obamacare. The traitor and I will work hard to see he is defeated in Missouri.
