Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted May 11, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2011 Sound's more like it's the GOP, not so much Obama. He signs the bills, he doesn't come up with the budget. 2.50 and 5.00, however, is not that much to ask. While I don't think fees/raises should be onerous, I don't appreciate being wrapped in the flag by the GOP and trotted out every so often for political motivation either. The "these veterans already sacrifice so much........" mantra, while true, is still just a heartstring ploy, akin to lilting music and a 'sad' looking puppy used by PETA or ASPCA. If Congress really gave a crap they would make VA funding a budget line instead of a discretionary measure. The Earth is degenerating these days. Bribery and corruption abound.Children no longer mind their parents, every man wants to write a book,and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching. --17 different possible sources, all lacking verifiable attribution.

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted May 11, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 11, 2011 Stick to facts and leave the politics out of this and the issue is legitimate to discuss although it is Tricare and not VA. I will also remind all that the budget problem is political leave the blame out and stick to issues. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

Teac Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 All I can say about raising tricare fess is that it is really way overdue. Fees have not been raised since Tricare was created. This is one area where if it cost us more, we really have nothing to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
