The Dems in Congress won't let him do this.
I gotta tell you though, at an “Obama” inspired “town hall” type Dem meeting in my area, some lady who attended talked about how she wanted to use the VA centers for “all the people, not just Veterans of these (Bush) wars!”

It’s beyong “getting”.
It’s now surreal.
People on welfare and illegal aliens get free healthcare while those who suffer combat injuries must pay for their healthcare with private insurance.
If things like this don’t start a revolution, I am not sure anything will.

If Bush had proposed that, imagine the screaming headlines. ...and therein lies the problem. If this proposal doesn't make it to Congress, the sheeple will never know about it. Of course, there's no guarantee they would learn about it if it did.

They want free healthcare for the lazy, shiftless, welfare queens and their freeloading broods and for illegals. All of the rest of us must pay for our own healthcare and for the healthcare of the freeloaders.

I read Rules for Radicals and there is zero mention in there of destroying the health care system or insulting veterans.

To: euram
meanwhile politicians in washington reap the best medical care at hand on the taxpayers dime right?
To: euram
I am employed with health insurance. When I go to the VA they routinely bill my private carrier.

If it’s “dead on arrival”, why bring it up? Are they delberately trying to p*ss everybody off, thinking that they just might sneak one through?
Just when you think LIBs/SOCs can’t sink any lower, they reach new depths.

Just what Obama wants to do piss off people that know how to kill people and break things.....
Bill Ayers was a hobbyist compared to America’s Veterans.

Its the insurance subrogation thing. Every payer wants to be second in line. It doesn't necessarily mean denying coverage or substantially changing the veterans' out of pocket costs. However, the more back and forths there are, the longer it takes for payment and the more stressful it is.
Making companies debate responsibility with the government for service-related injuries is going to ultimately be treated like prior health issues and raise private insurance costs for all veterans, since it would decrease the insurer's ability to estimate them. If the injury occurred when the soldier was an agent of the government, it is the government's (i.e., our) duty to insure him. It's not like soldiers are overpaid for the risks.
To: euram
free for deadbeats and illegals, but wounded soldiers will get a bill.... wow
