Obama To Cut Healthcare Benefits For Military Personnel But Not Unionized Civilian Defense Workers
02/27/2012
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.
Okay, here it is if you don't want to go in through the link on the last one.

That’s part and parcel to the plan of leaving this country broke and defenseless.
Remember the NDSWP gets a kickback from union paychecks whether the employee supports their twisted agenda or not.
Understand that when that Marxist fuck says “shared sacrifice” he means that we who support his scrawny profligate ass by paying taxes must do more with less so all those people getting government checks(un-constitutional expenditures division) can continue to prosper at their countrymen’s expense.
The man is a fetid bad of pus on the ass of a rotting pig’s corpse. He is a contemptible liar and an unprincipled sack of shit.
I am so beyond being pissed off and or upset at anything the cum-bubble-in-chief (intentionally uncapitalized) does right now. More like the state of calmness one gets to when they are so enraged, that every one around takes notice.
This does not surprise me. He is weeding out those who would continue to serve, beyond any point of immediate personal gain (do four years get your college paid for, for example), and looking for those who would do so because they would be loyal to him, vice that particular part of their enlistment oath (which I imagine will be changed in very short order) requiring fealty toward the Constitution.
Obama may not be the anti-christ, but there is every reason to believe he is the anti-christ’s semi-retarded half brother. And the sooner he rots in hell the better.
(Did I mention being a retired Squid? Who is not, and since retirement, has never been, enrolled in Tri-care? For the very reasons I was leery of it in the first place. It was the first step in disenfranchising the service member (and or their dependents) from the (at the time I first got in) free medical care for life which was one of the perks offered to get you to enlist in the first place (and or stay for at least 20). At this point, the way things are going…COBRA is going to be cheaper coverage.
Didn’t see this yesterday, but I posted the same on my site.
My Congress critter, Buck McKeon ain’t too happy about this.
Maybe, just maybe, they’ll sink this bitch before it sets sail.
That’s a lot of Veterans to piss off.
Now, remind me, what’s that first part of the OATH? *AHEM*
There are three levels of Tri-Care, brother Guy. One of them is that ID card you’ve got in your pocket. Costs nothing, and pays whatever your other insurance does not. There is Tri-Care PRIME, which does cost that $116 a qtr for the whole family, forget the name of the middle one, and Tri-Care For Life which is the free, automatic, and partial. Well worth flashing your retired ID at the hospital and the drug store, trust me.
FX, that pos needs to find itself in desperate need of medical care that insurance is insufficient to cover.
I always carry my “military express card” in the wallet. When I was active duty flashing the card along with the drives license got me outta a couple of tickets…save for the times when the LEO was a former Marine *grin*…
Yeah, I know about what Tri-care offers now…it is what is going to happen to it in the near future which concerns me.
I (state your name) do solemnly swear…
I’ll bet you already knew that though.
1, do I really need to clarify? Okay, perhaps I phrased that wrong as to part. Or you hit the “full stop” a bit too soon. Continue that first sentence in it’s entirety, please.
Here’s the whole thing.
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
I particularly think that we need to pay attention to the last word in that sentence more and more these days.
Of course there’s more, but, the first sentence pretty much sums it up.
Working under the supposition that it IS “domestic”, it is treason. Foreign, it is espionage.
