Obama Wants To Increase Health Care Costs For Soldiers

Only union members are on Obamamama's favorite child list. All others must pay more.

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.

Maybe the military should unionize

 

Republicans say we have to cut spending

 

LOL I can see them striking over the Afgahnistan war about now.

 

And unlike Reagan I doubt Odumbo would have the balls to stand up to them.

 

And additional burden on our already underpaid soldiers is a good way to do it?
The ONLY people in this country that have actually earned government health care.

Or are you just reciting whatever necessary to keep your illusion of BO alive?

Tea Party voters, by almost 2-1, oppose Social Security cuts

1:00 pm March 3, 2011, by Jay


From the Wall Street Journal:


WASHINGTON— Less than a quarter of Americans support making significant cuts to Social Security or Medicare to tackle the country’s mounting deficit, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, illustrating the challenge facing lawmakers who want voter buy-in to alter entitlement programs.

In the poll, Americans across all age groups and ideologies said by large margins that it was “unacceptable” to make significant cuts in entitlement programs in order to reduce the federal deficit. Even tea party supporters, by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, declared significant cuts to Social Security “unacceptable.”

Romney Calls for More Defense Spending
By ASHLEY PARKER

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. — Standing among retired airplanes on the U.S.S. Yorktown, a decommissioned World War II aircraft carrier, Mitt Romney told a small group of veterans on Thursday that given the global threats to America’s interests, the nation’s defense spending should be increased instead of cut.

Acknowledging that waste and excess spending exist within the Defense Department, Mr. Romney still called for increasing the Pentagon’s budget.
