I am one of those troops, and my jaw hust hit the floor. WTF???
IMHO, of all Americans that deserve gov't paid health services, military personnel are 1a in my book with poor children 1b.
I was one of those troops myself but i retired during the waning days of democratic primary..
And I see this as the start of erosion of the benefits of serving for almost 23 years.
It took 7 1/2 months for me to get my Veterans Administration review and get the disability that the doctors were suggesting I had before I left. Now.. under this mess.. I would be re-evaluated... so what.. to loose my benefits?
My retirement is going to be taxed more.. and I signed up for Tri-Care and pay a monthly fee for that too... Now.. I am being told that the bean counters want me to pay almost 237% more in premiums for that also.
I served under Four US Presidents.. and the first one after that.. Is basically saying.. I have to pay more...
I write my Representative and my senators. but they are under the same party as the President and agree with him. That is not freedom....
I think I will make ANOTHER phone call to those offices.. at least i can be a nuisance to their phone system.. and express that I can not understand why government wishes me to suffer.. While they grow Government to “save” the country.
