This is the same thing Hillarycare had. They are after VA benefits first ~ they'll take them and pass them out to their illegal alien friends.
Next, government employee health insurance ~ they'll give that to their illegal alien friends.
After that everything retirees get, and so on.
It was all laid out by the Hildabeast so it's not at all surprising to find this acolyte of the Antichrist doing the same thing.

But the proposal would be "dead on arrival" if it's sent to Congress, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, said. Murray used that blunt terminology when she told Shinseki that the idea would not be acceptable and would be rejected if formally proposed. Her remarks came during a hearing before the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs about the 2010 budget.

Only for people on welfare. Veterans must pay.

I hear you! Young men and women, go put your life on the line for your country, and when you are wounded in the line of duty, have your private insurance pay for it? Get real! Meanwhile, the lazy asses that sat around complaining about you going to war, have their benefits UPPED and are now extended for those who broke the law to enter the country you fought to protect illegally????
What say you, Jim??
