My taxes pay for this stuff and everyone I ask including me has Ins that won’t pay for it.
Did it never occur to you that the military members taxes are also paying for this. That medication is not handed out to active duty troops and not on demand to enhance the experience when they are not needed.
Government officials, who get to use military hospitals may also receive prescriptions like this.
So do a lot of other public dole recipients.
This is a tiny pimple in the scheme of spending. Congressional wives still get plastic surgery, so do federal employees, along with sex change operations.
For military retirees, this is a part of their earned retirement benefits which the democrats are actively trying to take away. Retirees pay taxes as well, on their retirement as well as their post-retirement income. You don’t think that a military retiree can support a family on the small percentage of their active duty pay they receive in retirement, do you? If they retire at 50% of their base pay it is just that, not 50% of their total active duty compensation. They don’t get congressional retirements, they end up with at best 1/3 of their total active compensation so most will end up working hard at a second career to make ends meet.
