The Cypress Times ^ | 2/28/10 | Ron Devito

Posted on 02/28/2010 2:11:56 PM PST by Patriot1259

“Michele Bachmann summed it up very well. She suggested that ‘maybe the beer summit was more productive and fruitful than what we saw today coming out of the health care summit. Maybe these guys should have popped some tops off of some MGBs and really gotten down to business.’ ”

Agreed the summit would have greatly benefitted from the presence of both Palin and Bachmann. I’m certain it would have saved everyone a few hours and cut all the spin. Those ladies NEVER put up with spin.

Will the Democrat leadership and Lord Obama be able to talk the rank and file to throw their careers away to vote for that mess?

If this passes, Republicans should run to acquire a super majority by 2012 to negate the damage if that cr@p passes.

In a few months it'll be time to pop the top on the MGB, it's a little chilly now.

“Maybe these guys should have popped some tops off of some MGBs and really gotten down to business”.

...it at least it would’ve been more entertaining! Republicans stopped them at every turn. Obama is such a weenie, he couldn’t take the truths that came out of this.

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, 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.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009

Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
Snip The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Snip

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.

“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.
