Healthcare bill screws veterans
You might remember if you’ve been around here that long, back in August, we reported that Stephen Buyer warned that the healthcare bill penalized veterans who rely on their earned medical benefits as their primary provider. In fact, I asked the question just the other day.
Well, according to the VFW, I was asking the right questions all along, and no one wasanswering for a good reason;
“The president and the Democratic leadership are betraying America’s veterans,” said Thomas J. Tradewell Sr., a combat-wounded Vietnam veteran from Sussex, Wis., who leads the 2.1 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. and its Auxiliaries.
“And what makes matters worse is the leadership and the president knows the bill is flawed, yet they are pushing for passage today like it’s a do-or-die situation. This nation deserves the best from their elected officials, and the rush to pass legislation of this magnitude is not it.”
Apparently, Buyer saw it comingback in August and no one did anything about it – that means to me that it was intentional on the part of the people who wrote the bill. Otherwise, they would have fixed it. We saw last year how this government tried to finance their health care bill on the backs of service-connected disability veterans and they caved pretty quickly – now we know why.
The folks who play at being veteran advocates, like those at VoteVets, have been telling us to sit down and shut up. I hope veterans remember in November.
ADDED: Defense Secretary Gates claims that TRICARE meets the minimum requirements of the health care. I guess we can expect Shinseki’s blowjob support any minute, too.

Jonn, it’s just despicable.
My guys from our Legion tried to ask questions of Brad Miller and he absolutely ignored them. And we know why. They are all buddy fuckers of the finest order.
Of course Veterans get screwed in this bill. We are no different than the rest, in that sense, as to who is getting screwed.
The only ones who don’t get screwed are the unions and congress.
So, tell me this; I have Tricare for my wife and kids, being active duty Army but no other coverage. Does that mean now I have to get health care coverage for them in addition to the coverage of tricare? What about myself? Does being active duty and having ‘full’ medical coverage count and having healt care under this bill?

You all keep forgetting who’s side Obama is on. He wants to be king, but he can’t be king in a republic (we are not a democracy). He has to tear down the USA so he can be crowned.
Remember how he wanted the soldier’s insurance to pay for THEIR medical care? Some of these soldiers were wounded because Obama ordered them into harm’s way. Then he wants them to have to pay for their own injuries because they went where they were ordered?
If he would have gotten his way the soldier’s insurance rate would be based on a risk factor. The ones on the front lines would have to pay a higher rate. How many people would join the military if they had to have their own insurance, and how many would CHOOSE the front lines with the higher rate. The fewer on the front lines to do the actual fighting, the easier it would be to defeat the military and take over HIS KINGDOM.
