Tricare And The Health Care Bill - Veterans Alert!

Obama and the Dems have said all along that veterans and military retirees' Tricare would not be negatively impacted by the health care reform bill. At least, they've said that their care would not be hurt. But what will happen to the premiums we pay for the insurance? No mention of that.

I received a letter from the MOAA (Military Officers Association of America) warning me that under the current bill Tricare premiums would increase as much as two to three times!  Plus, doctors would be receiving another decrease in pay for their services.  Is this a hoax or is it buried in the lawyerspeak of that 2000 page blob called the health care reform bill?

Meanwhile, the bill keeps getting mutilated turning into a Frankenstein of a piece of legislation. It will cost too much, not do what it says, push the deficit higher, and ultimately raise everyone's taxes. Use the links on this page to contact your congressman and senator and urge them to say NO to this bill.

I hope the bill does not pass. But, if it does, Repeal the Health Care Bill.
