Boosh legacy is still running some things, get over it.The DOD wrote the contract during Boosh so it was approved by Boosh.
Here's what I don't understand about you left wing retards.
1-Clinton was the best prez eva!
2- Bush came in and dominated Clintons policies and took control. Made the tax cuts and a few things I didn't agree with but he took control and ran the country.
3- Obama is the latest best prez eva! But can't even over rule what Bush did that needs fixed, can't take control of any phase of governing, has zero leadership. But I guess he looks good on The View.
If your fave president can't fix what you deem as Bush's failures in four years you have hinged your hopes on one pathetic piece of shit.
Bush was a good president, he allowed me and many other vets to get healthcare and GI bill benefits that Reagan cut us off from.
I'm ok with that. Unless the veteran in question is seeking treating for a war wound.
It's very clear that you have no idea what 20+ years in the military can do to a body. But thats ok, we do it so you don't have to.
I live 50 miles to the nearest VA. I have no problem driving to fayetteville, Arkansas to get medical treatment. You think the millitary is tough, try laying brick, block and stone for 30 years.Better yet, 12 years of football playing.
I'm ok with that. Unless the veteran in question is seeking treating for a war wound.
You do realize that part of the contract the government entered into when these soldiers signed up was that they receive lifetime healthcare, right? Considering their wages are about 25% of private sector it was a benefit that these veterans relied on, and now our government is reneging on it.
But they can bail out the UAW while fucking over the pensions of non-union workers at Delphi...
Go find any thread about government employees needing to renegotiate and then apply that same argument here.
Damn that Bush was one smart fucking guy. He's still running the country even with the savior in chief in office. Is there any chance over the next four years obama will actually do something presidential or are we just going to keep blaming W?Owned!!!
Was Bush president when it was decided or not? If he was, why should Obama take the blame?
I'm ok with that. Unless the veteran in question is seeking treating for a war wound.

I spent 20 years in the military, use Tricare Prime and live more than 40 miles from a military treatment facility and I have no problem with losing prime.

Under TRICARE Standard, beneficiaries can choose their own physicians and pay no annual enrollment fee. But when they need care, retirees must cover 25 percent of allowable charges. Retirees also have an annual deductible of $150 for the individual or $300 per family. Total out-of-pocket costs, however, are capped at $3000 per family.
In most Prime service areas, about half of eligible retirees already choose to use Standard rather than enroll in the network.
The end of Prime outside of 40-mile "catchment" areas of military treatment facilities has been anticipated since 2007, when Defense officials drafted the third generation of TRICARE support contracts. It called for returning the managed care option to its original concept of being a backup network to military clinics and hospitals when they can't provide managed care to all beneficiaries living nearby or in areas where bases have been closed and military health facilities shuttered.
adding a little bit more to Moon's post. This shows just how fucking retarded the Op is. This is why i skip most people's links. They never say what the Op wants them to say and it gets old proving them wrong.
Dead lovebear, go back to school, maybe first grade and learn how to read before posting here again. As you can tell you , can't read.
Im not really sure what cons have a problem with the BOLD part. That is more in line with Private insurance anyways. They should be happy about this. Or are they advocating for Government healthcare?

Hey plasma Go suck Obama's dick. Did you use all your WIC Checks this month. I am glad my tax dollars are paying for your kids to eat. How about your food stamps. Did you enjoy that steak on our tax dollars. Why dont you get a real job that pays real money and quit leaching off the government. My husband did not leach. He earned every penny he takes home in retirement . Plus I work and he works another full time job ..
I'm ok with that. Unless the veteran in question is seeking treating for a war wound.
So, my husband was promised free healthcare if he did 20 years in service. He did 25 .. Bill CLinton took the free healthcare away so now he pays. Now Obama wants to take more. I am sorry but my husband did the time he needs to get his benefits just like anyone else who does a job and signed a contract. If they want to change it , do it to the new ones so they know what they are getting so they can do their career accordingly . You think anyone would stay in that long if they did not get benefits. Be prepared for drafts now if this is the case

No, you retard. Veterans have earned their benefits.171,000 Retirees Likely To Lose Tricare Prime
171,000 Retirees Likely To Lose Tricare Prime
171,000 Retirees Likely To Lose TRICARE Prime Option
With the presidential election over, Defense officials are expected to announce soon that military retirees and their dependents living more than 40 miles from a military treatment facility or base closure site will lose access to TRICARE Prime, the military's managed care option.
These beneficiaries would be expected to shift to TRICARE Standard, their fee-for-service insurance option, which would mean an increase in out-of-pocket costs for beneficiaries who are frequent users of health services.
A total of 171,000 retirees and dependents are expected to have to shift coverage when remote Prime networks go away. Tentative plans are for this to occur April 1 in the West Region, which would coincide with UnitedHealth Military and Veterans Services taking over the region's support contract from TriWest Healthcare Alliance after 16 years.
Aren't these the same people the CONS have been calling "takers" because they're part of the 47%?
"Earned their benefits".Aren't these the same people the CONS have been calling "takers" because they're part of the 47%?
No.
Biullshit, many retirees ARE part of the 47%
Remember, according to leftists, union workers do more for society than the military.I'm ok with that. Unless the veteran in question is seeking treating for a war wound.

Some people are stupid enough to shit on those who defend this nation right before Veterans Day.I live 50 miles to the nearest VA. I have no problem driving to fayetteville, Arkansas to get medical treatment. You think the millitary is tough, try laying brick, block and stone for 30 years.Better yet, 12 years of football playing.
You would almost have a point if you were being shot at while laying bricks or playing football. Nice job trying to equate the two with military service.
some people are smart enough not to be grunts and gun bunnies.
