Link to Scott Brown debate, dems want to cut Military Tricare health insurance

No COLA raise for Seniors, No COLA raise for retired Military, cuts to Medicare and Tricare, we families who depend on Tricare for our secondary health insurance after our spouses spent 20 or more years serving their country are going to be getting double screwed with the cuts and increases in premiums and fees.

In the Hannity interview the remark went totally over Hannity's head. I don't think any of the talk radio host know what Tricare is!

God what will it take to get these leeches off of our money?

[RummyChick]

WTF? state workers and unions exempt until 2017??????????????????????????

Red state is reporting that the HOUSE is expending money on Coakley’s campaign...

[Sarah Barracuda]

These bastards in Washington won’t be satisfied til we are all broke. This is what Dems want, for us to be bankrupt so that we have to rely on Government aid.

[Hot Tabasco]

That's fine and good but what is a current retiree from the auto industry who is now on a fixed income, currently paying a monthly premium for my company sponsored ins. going to expect?

My premiums are going up each year, can I also expect to be taxed on it too?

[janetjanet998]

Yep, No Tax on Union workers....

need to spread the word about this...

earthquake has distracted the news

[benewton]

While I think that this’ll create a shooting war, lets start from an earlier point.

You know the 40% health insurance tax? All of the those receiving it in the government should be required to pay it NOW!

[Aria]

BUT.....Congress gets it’s perks...no cuts for them.

This is the most rotten government I’ve ever seen in the US. They think they’re royalty and that we owe them for deigning to rule over us in any way they please.

[FrankR]

This is news?

We knew it was all posturing when it was announced...the unions are obama's bedfellows and he'll never, ever let them down, no matter what.

They should be nominated for an oscar for their performances, good acting.

Now media, stop wasteing internet space with these "captain obvious" stories where we know the outcome before you write it. Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh.

[KevinDavis]

Well I will no longer buy anything union made period..

[Randy Larsen]

If this really happens, unions are dead meat!

As a member of a closed union(FORCED TO PAY) shop municipal water agency...I will donate any so called difference in taxes to local and national conservative causes and will demand my co-workers to do the same!

I hate LIBERALS!

[Randy Larsen]

In case you haven’t noticed...

Nothing is union made anymore!

[mia]

Won’t this exemption make the bill open to more lawsuits?

[Mark]

I guess we can buy a few books about the Amish and fill out some paperwork-— should do the trick.

[KevinDavis]

That means I will not buy Ford.. Thought about it, but this deal seals it..

[KevinDavis]

or form an new Amish sect.. If you know what I mean..

[MileHi]

Party members are exempt? Wow.

When do they start handing out yellow stars to small business owners?

[MileHi]

God what will it take to get these leeches off of our money?
