Thanks Obama - You Vet Hating **********

[Quantum Windbag]

Hey! What happened to bending down the cost curve?

Sounds good, doesn't it? The best part is that, because no one knows what the **** it actually means, he can claim victory even though prices are going up.

Are you telling us that a Republican got something passed in the Senate?

Possibly. Remember when Republicans held millions of Americans hostage?

Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says - CSMonitor.com

Even the right wing Christian Science Monitor wrote about what they did. I don't know why Republicans support such an odious leadership. Many of those jobs the unemployed used to have where helped overseas by their leadership. The Republican leadership screws their base and they not only love it, they crave it.

Did Coburn's measure pass the Senate or not?

Short answer, no. Long answer, hell no.

I don't know. Remember, Republicans only let millions of American have unemployment when the tax cuts for the wealthy were passed.

I don't know every bill that passes. I have a job. Unlike......well......you know.

I wonder of the majority of those unemployed were Republican? It's very possible. The Republican base love to get screwed by their leadership.

Here's a good read:
Defense has a health care spending problem
Defense has a health care spending problem - The Washington Post
and
Costs of Military Pay and Benefits in the Defense Budget
CBO | Costs of Military Pay and Benefits in the Defense Budget

The problem is that the rising cost of healthcare is eating up the Defense Department's budget.

Well, we had a fake war and that left tens of thousands of Americans maimed for life. Young Americans. The cost will continue 60 or 70 years into the future. Just another "gift that keeps on giving" from the GOP.

I'm curious. What do you think about Republicans holding millions hostage to get tax cuts that were supposed to create jobs?

its a job.. don't like the benefits find a different job

Our soldiers aren't in the military just for the benefits...most joined because they wanted to do something for their country, and to protect the rights of imbeciles like you. They EARN those benefits by putting their lives in danger....and people like you want to take them away, or make it harder on them than it needs to be.

they are not protecting my rights and most of them join for pay,training and benefits and benifits.get over it

Who Serves in the U.S. Military? The Demographics of Enlisted Troops and Officers

Interactive U.S. map of troop representation levels
Who serves in the active-duty ranks of the U.S. all-volunteer military? Conventional wisdom holds that military service disproportionately attracts minorities and men and women from disadvantaged backgrounds. Many believe that troops enlist because they have few options, not because they want to serve their country. Others believe that the war in Iraq has forced the military to lower its recruiting standards.

Coburn: Cut Back on Tricare | Military Health Report

Tricare is the health-care program administered by the U.S. Department of Defense that serves some 9.6 million members of America’s military as well as retirees, families and survivors worldwide.

Coburn has released a study that he says could achieve $9 trillion in deficit savings over the next decade. His plan includes, for example, raising the co-payments that military retirees who are eligible for Medicare are charged.

These ******* right wingers. They practice stupid. What else could it be? Determined to be as ignorant as ****.

Do some damn research. Obama cares about Americans. Because he is one. The Republican leadership cares about rich people and if screwing over regular Americans is the way for them to make their masters happy, so be it.

How can you say that? It is an undeniable fact that Afganistan and Iraq have not invaded America!!!!! Coincidence? I don't THINK so! If it wern't for our military, they would have taught their camels to swim long ago, and assaulted our beaches waving their scimitars!

That is a very, very ******* poor attitude toward those who safeguard YOUR freedoms, you ******* ingrate.

You sure spent enough time and effort to try to pin the shit on him, though. Didn't ya?

One side of your mouth calls out "Do nothing Congress" while the other side tries to blame them for everything from AIDS to Zits.

You little ******* ingrate. They are protecting your rights, though you clearly don't deserve what your betters are doing for you. Self-absorbed little ******* pussies like you wouldn't last a minute without them.

Because, despite the hyperbole, Afghans and Iraqis are the only ones with designs against us and our way of life??

The ME is the only place on this vast planet where our military is standing watch??

You're welcome, shit-stains.

After Soldier successfully invade Country, Government have no need for him. And if he retired, he is cost Government much money in retirement benefits that Bankers could be using instead.

Plan is to raise prices on Military benefits that was promised.
Declare Soldier to have PTSD and Prescribe Medications.
Because of Medical Condition, declare Soldier Mentally Unstable.
Confiscate any Weapons Soldier may have.
Throw in Jail when he resist.

Good plan eh?

You forgot to include the part about denying Soldier 2nd Amendment rights due to his PTSD.

Thank you yes, "Confiscate Weapons" does include put on "No Buy, No Fly" list as well!

I think this is Rahm Immanuel idea?

I have had a totally different experience with Tricare than has the OP. My husband is the retiree, and we have been getting our maintenance meds through the mail-order pharmacy less than 50 miles away for several years now. Not only the scrips but the replacement parts for his C-PAP machine are sent out promptly and for FREE. We are very fortunate to be able to use all generic meds and so the cost per scrip for 3 months' supply via mail is...... $0

We are very grateful to have this coverage and service. I encourage everyone who's eligible to take advantage of the mail-order pharmacy option for maintenance meds.

There are some changes I do NOT like - having retirees pay $201 PER CHILD for ages 23-26 for medical coverage is rather expensive, but then it's very good coverage. Since our 23 y/o has an income, we've shifted that expense over to him now so it really doesn't affect us directly. I do think it's unfair, because no other med insurance I've heard of goes by 'per child' - AND because it's a fed mandate which created the necessity for that 'patch' in the first place.

I don't know how the OP's one month supply winds up costing $44/month - but it's clear that the DoD wants to shift as much of retirees scrips to 'mail order' as possible for efficiency and cost savings TO ALL.

Yes, it's irksome to have to pay more when it's stuff the doc says you can't even wait a day to get (our MO folks will 'overnight' if requested - no charge) - but that shouldn't be happening very often for most of us.

I'm not doubting the OP's word about his situation: I just don't see enough information given to explain it, sorry.

I'm a lot MORE upset about the idea of pushing us 'gray area' (under 65) retirees off onto our employers' health plans - not only would our copays triple and our scrips cost us $120/month or more, but we'd be shelling out close to $5,000 in premiums for that coverage instead. (OTOH, it would include the dear child...but still, that's $2600/year we'd be socked)

We PAID for that coverage already: the service members spent 20+ years being available as cannon fodder/targets for wherever and whenever the US Government chose to send them, and yes the families have paid as well.

It is not right to take away coverage that was included when our sponsors signed up: if the financial situation is so dire as all that, then Congress should be foregoing some perks before stripping them from the vets.

Hate the President all you wish, but he's still only one man. And I don't see one political party standing up for the vets, not at all.

Well, I confess that Germany and Japan have not been uppidy again in the last 68 years, so we should thank our military for not letting that happen....

You have a very narrow world view, don't ya?

There are 4 carriers underway right now (just as one example)
One is in the S. China Sea, but none are near the ME or Germany
