Universal health care..... illegal aliens just walk on into the emergency room....
Medicaid.... Medicare.... but you wounded veterans need to get private medical insurance.

This will never pass, but it is outrageous to even think about.

"WASHINGTON—The Obama administration is considering making veterans use private insurance to pay for treatment of combat and service-related injuries."

I seriously doubt the veracity of this story. It would be sheer stupidity. What veteran in their right mind would consider reenlisting? Why would anyone enlist in the first place?

[Officers don't count, they don't need medical attention.]

Sounds like a typical plan to me; if people stop joining, the military will shrink on its own, without him having to announce any plans to cut manpower.

The date of the Tea Party has just been moved up a bit!

If this is real, then the Politicians in D.C. had better start packing. And, they will have to move to someplace other than the USA.

If this doesn't fly, I expect the next attempt will be at eliminating free care for non service connected problems, that is currently covered if you are rated at 50% or more.

Maybe the magic one has realized the job is too tough and is guaranteeing not to be re-elected.

What better way to show your contempt for those (like me) who sacrificed to support and defend the Constitution?

It looks like it is letter writing tiime!

I knew the Kenyan Klown had no respect for our military when he made his Germany visit. He opted to go to lunch, instead of visiting the wounded military in the hospital at Ramstein.

This is the same Obama who wants to give $540MM to the Detroit school system because the system is er...uh, well, you know...

As far as I'm concerned, any vet should be able to go to any hospital they choose and get the very best care available at no charge to them. No ifs ands or butts about it.

Now, THAT sounds like a sensible Bill that should be introduced and passed. Just exactly in those terms and nothing else added.

Every time that individual does or says something, I have less respect for him than before. Considering it started with zero, it's a very large negative number by now.

I can't believe he would do this to Vets...on second thought, yeah I can believe it!

Typical for a president who has never served a day in the military.
