“Sounds like you are proud of your hubby, good for you.”
Sounds like you believe that the inferior health care, as part of a benefit package my husbands receives for his family, is more than what he’s worth to the country.
Gee, funny that the govt must not have thought it was more than he was worth to them when he was working with a recruiter. It’s always after the service member is no longer worth anything to the govt and the disabled or sick vet is left with a future of poverty.
Like I said, I don’t think everyone who has ever served in the military should get lifetime healthcare benefits. I sure never expected anything like that for only 6 years. I just get a little pissed off when people start talking about the “free” healthcare vets, military personnel and their dependents get as if they didn’t earn those benefits but rather they were just “given” to them for nothing or something up and above what they are worth to the country. Lots of good, strong, young men out there that hear these sorts of attitudes and rethink what it is they are willing to accept in return for the risks they would be taking by volunteering for combat.

The medical care at for profit hospitals is better than any I ever received in the military system. So forget the inferior and stop taking it as an attack against your hubby.

I’m talking about people who server 4 years and then expect the VA to cover every prescription they need for any reason for the rest of their life.
If you’re active, or its service connected, or you’re retired and its part of the package its fine. If you were healthy when you got out and smoked for 20 years and got lung cancer then no, the govt should not foot the bill.
