The Obama administration’s proposed defense budget calls for military families and retirees to pay sharply more for their healthcare, while leaving unionized civilian defense workers’ benefits untouched. The proposal is causing a major rift within the Pentagon, according to U.S. officials. Several congressional aides suggested the move is designed to increase the enrollment in Obamacare’s state-run insurance exchanges.


The disparity in treatment between civilian and uniformed personnel is causing a backlash within the military that could undermine recruitment and retention.


The proposed increases in health care payments by service members, which must be approved by Congress, are part of the Pentagon’s $487 billion cut in spending. It seeks to save $1.8 billion from the Tricare medical system in the fiscal 2013 budget, and $12.9 billion by 2017.


Many in Congress are opposing the proposed changes, which would require the passage of new legislation before being put in place.


“We shouldn’t ask our military to pay our bills when we aren’t willing to impose a similar hardship on the rest of the population,” Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and a Republican from California, said in a statement to the Washington Free Beacon. “We can’t keep asking those who have given so much to give that much more.”

Remember when liberals claimed Bush cut benefits for Veterans? Let's see if they even raise an eyelash over this. REAL cuts to our military, and all designed to force the military to be dependent on Obamacare.

Nooooooooooo, Obama isn't a socialist. Nooooooooooooo, of course not.

Time to send this out of control dictator back to Chicago. November 2012 is coming!

How can I take this thread seriously if the article is completely biased? I mean, I'm sure a few basic facts are correct, but it is mostly Fox News spin.

I also see that the OP supports the Tea Baggers. What else can I do but laugh?
 
Obamacare

the ultimate political misnomer, crowning a potus 'socialist' for legislating mandatory fascisim for big insurance to beat us over our heads with

neat trick, eh?

Okay, that's a joke, considering the liberal media is in the tank for Obama. If there is ANY voice of opposition that tells the truth about Obama, you hypocrites cry "bias!" :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I frankly, don't care if Obamabots won't take this seriously.

It's everyone else who will and WILL vote to send his skinny butt back to Chicago.

Semper Fi!

It is fascism and socialism at the same time, I agree on that.

It's real dumb-ass.

Obama is showing his hatred for the military by slashing their benefits.

“Would you stay with a car insurance company that raised your premiums by 345 percent in five years? Probably not,” said the congressional aide. “Would anybody accept their taxes being raised 345 percent in five years? Probably not.”

Significantly, the plan calls for increases between 30 percent to 78 percent in Tricare annual premiums for the first year. After that, the plan will impose five-year increases ranging from 94 percent to 345 percent—more than 3 times current levels.

According to congressional assessments, a retired Army colonel with a family currently paying $460 a year for health care will pay $2,048.

The new plan hits active duty personnel by increasing co-payments for pharmaceuticals and eliminating incentives for using generic drugs.

The changes are worrying some in the Pentagon who fear it will severely impact efforts to recruit and maintain a high-quality all-volunteer military force. Such benefits have been a key tool for recruiting qualified people and keeping them in uniform.

And this is Obama's America. Putting us in soup lines to pay for our government mandated healthcare, one military family, and civilian family at a time.

Statists loathe the military, they always have. They fool no one.
 
Should everyone share the pain or should certain classes be exempt and make out well at the expense of other classes?

Oh liberals will love this one. They hate the military.

What gets me is, the same liberals who railed against Bush supposedly cutting veterans benefits will turn a blind eye to this.

They only rail against ANYTHING when they think it's advantages them politically.
