Let's Raise Their Healthcare Costs--They've Only Risked Their Lives for Our Country

We all know that politics can be a dirty game, but did you ever think it would become an outrageously underhanded one?  Here it is: President Obama wants the military, their families, and military retirees to pay significantly more for their healthcare, while no benefit increases are slated for civilian unions.

Pentagon spending will be cut $487 billion and Obama wants to save $1.8 billion in the Tricare medical system, the military healthcare system, by next year, and $12.9 billion by 2017. So, in order to do this, Obama feels that the military personnel should personally foot the bill.  


Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Rep. Howard McKeon (R-CA) said, in a statement to the Washington Free Beacon: "We can't keep asking those who have given so much to give that much more."  Obama disagrees.  Evidently he believes that not only should they pay more for the healthcare they might need due to their service to our country, but that unions should not have to pay more.  This kind of thinking smacks of socialism.
