Oh, it’s just something you eventually find out after doing it over and over. :-)
Wish we could get RUSH to pick up and mention the big new fees on our retired Military's Tricare for Life (over 65) secondary health ins., those suckers take effect in 2011 according to the Army Times. It was in a DOD bill already passed. It will have a bad effect on our retired over 65 Military's health care and financial stability. Coupled with the Medicare/SS cut and gut...you can see the impact, especially if their retirement investments have been tanked by Obamanomics.
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.)

Great information on a great cause, and a great job by you, GailA!
It takes a nation of Patriots to defeat fascist, Marxist, and commies. Some of us have huge rolls like RUSH, others have rolls like Molly Pitcher...others like me just quietly spread the info.
