There is an over under problem here and she never appealed.

Hey, you can’t bend the demand curve down without breaking a few eggs. So to speak.

Where are the, “hospitals are prefect” Freepers to defend this?
To: nickcarraway
husband was active duty for 13 years
we have had services denied as well
services that were promised at the time of non-voluntary overseas orders being cut.
husband and I have no regrets regarding his time on active duty
but not because of the overwhelming pc bureaucracy that is now pervasive but because of the outstanding people we have met all over the globe.

No. It's the future for the commoners. Party members always receive special treatment.

Is this the future for all of us? Could very well be, TriCare is Gov't health insurance for the armed services.

If this is the same story I read the other day, this young girl’s obesity was caused by either the tumor or the durgery and the surgery she needs is not a gastric bypass to stop her from eating, but a surgery necessary to cure a rare side effect occurring from the tumor she had removed. I can’t remember if her obesity was life threatening, but I do remember that the insurance company was reinvestigating the case and might go ahead and grant payment for the surgery after all.

If you are referring to the little girl whose before and after pictures were shown at the linked site, it is about her. Thought so, saw a news article about it earlier.
I wasn't about to pay anyone a click for recycled news.
And you are a DESPICABLE human being for referring to her that way.
"Skinny chick" doesn't describe her very well.
What's the main thing you notice when you see her?

TRICARE is for the military, obummer’s favorite social proving ground.

Despicable describes humble pretty well. He’s not offended by it though, he takes pride in it.
