God Bless our Troops










Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon
Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require
veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540
million annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries
to military personnel received during their tours on active duty. The
President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the
opposition to his proposal.

"Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody
made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the
risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It
doesn't compute.." "I thought these were people who were proud to
sacrifice for their country, "Obama continued. "I wasn't asking for blood,
just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its
history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to
help reduce the nation's deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness
of some of my fellow Americans."

Please pass this on to everyone including every vet and their families whom
you know.

How in the world did a person with this mind set become our leader? I didn't
vote for him!!!

REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT...

"Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the
risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?

If this *** thinks he will ever get another vote from an Active Duty,
Reserve, National Guard service member or veteran of a military service
he ought to think it over. If you or a family member is or has served
their country please pass this to them. Please pass this to everyone.

I'm guessing that other than the 20-25 percent hard core liberals in the
US will agree that this is just another example why this is the worst
president in American history. Remind everyone over and over how this
man thinks, while he bows to the Saudi Arabian king.

The quotes are from a satire, and while the plan looks incredibly foolish politically, I don't think it's quite as evil as the quotes would suggest;
"In conjunction with meeting with several veterans groups in March 2009, the Obama administration floated a proposal to save the federal government an estimated $540 million per year by billing veterans' private insurance companies for the treatment of their combat injuries and other service-related health problems. (Currently only non-service-related medical treatments are so billed.) The proposal would not have, as was often misreported, forced veterans to pay for the treatment of their injuries out of their own pockets or required them to buy private insurance; but it did raise the
prospect that injured or ill veterans might find it harder or more expensive to purchase health coverage, or to obtain employment in the private sector if employer-funded private insurance plans had to cover the additional costs of treating injuries and other service-related health problems."

Bad idea that was dropped almost immediately but it shouldn't have got as far as it did.

Can you say "pre existing condition"? What company is going to give a policy to a vet (or anyone else) with PTSD, body rot or whatever? No way !! My F-I-L paid for insurance his whole adult life and had a heart attack at 56. They cancelled him for that reason, pre existing condition. I think it was because he was arn-o-ry enough to survive it and the quad bypass after. Just my .02

I think the mere idea of charging the private resources of veterans for injuries (especially combat related) received during a tour of duty is unconscienable on the part of the current administration. It is bad enough to be considered an obamanation...

So, after you pay a zillion bucks for your artificial limbs, do you still get a Purple Heart? Sort of a consolation prize?

Q: Gawd, what the hell happened to our "Glorious Republic"?

A: Exactly what Ben Franklin predicted in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776.
