TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:
http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html
This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009
Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.
“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.
DeMint speaking on Glenn Beck radio right now...great quote when Beck asked if he could call him ‘Jim’...”Glenn...I worked real hard for that name ‘Jim’...” ROTFLMAO!!!
Conservative Republicans need to purchase air time on all four nets, cable, etc. to explain what’s going on here.
And Jim DeMint needs to do the talking.
If the Republicans just sit on their hands, this monstrosity is going to become law.
I have a bad feeling about this...
DeMint would make a GREAT President.
Go read the transcript. Excerpt:
... this really is a bad bill, Greta, and we need to get on to doing some things that are step-by-step that make our system better. The president has not been willing to listen to it. He wants a big FDR-type health care takeover, and I hope the Democrats in the House won't give it to him.

 Jim DeMint Ping! |
Follow Sen. DeMint on Twitter.
In reality it comes down to this. The Dems who put their political careers on the line and vote yes still have to return home after this vote. Many will continue to live in the area and state they currently “serve”.
Knowing the rage American’s have on both sides of the aisle over this bill and the processes behind it; how many of them will literally be scared to vote yes.
Will they fear the wrath of their neighbors an former constituents more so then what Obama, Pelosi and Reid dish out?
Pelosi is half right - it will take guts to vote for this bill; it will take some real balls to go home after.
Can only say 'arise folks' and be heard. Repub Leadership better be clanging the Liberty bell - now!
This circumvention of every 'checks/balance' mechanism cannot stand! Not to mention the bribery hand in hand with a Treason!
