Obama Messing With Veterans Benefits
By Verv

Thu Mar 19, 2009 - Obama seems to always be interested in providing health care to every American... but apparently not enough to end a terrible bill that would take this away from Americans who sustain wounds in combat. This from Military.com:
The Obama administration is considering making veterans use private insurance to pay for treatment of combat and service-related injuries.

The plan would be an about-face on what veterans believe is a longstanding pledge to pay for health care costs that result from their military service.

But in a White House meeting Monday, veterans groups apparently failed to persuade President Barack Obama to take the plan off the table.

"Veterans of all generations agree that this proposal is bad for the country and bad for veterans," said Paul Rieckhoff, executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. "If the president and the OMB (Office of Management and Budget) want to cut costs, they can start at AIG, not the VA."
Definitely not good -- as someone who just got out of the Army, without any disability or any of that, I still feel that this is really a betrayal of the fighting force and the military as a whole.

Democrats seem to always be interested in cutting benefits for people who served the country and desire to give it to needle exchanges for the drug users who pollute our nation.

It is almost as if the more upstanding a person is, the less they deserve from the government in the eyes of the Left.
