Add the Medicare cuts and rate increases, and then add the $525 and the nearly $5,000 out of pocket fees for Tricare and our retired Military who are 65 and over are getting royally screwed! Because if SS is getting no COLA's for 3 years then retired Military won't either.
Congress, judicial or any branch of government should get no bigger a pay raise than our Military get. AND IF they can't give the most vulnerable in society our seniors and retired Military seniors a tiny COLA raise congress shouldn't get one either.
I Called Alexander and Corker's office this morning and told them to start screaming about the Medicare/Tricare benefit cuts and increased fees.
Most seniors even retired Military don't know about the Medicare and Tricare cuts...I've been doing a lot of talking to random people and they are SHOCKED to learn of these cuts and increases.
Talk radio is totally ignoring the Tricare issue. I even called Scott Brown's campaign office and told them to have him explain to the public what Tricare is and the cuts involved.
People need to wake up and take notice of what is happening to our country.
If they continue to ignore this, it will be too late.
