Tricare is, as he says, decent. A career vet has a choice of what level of care he wants for himself and his spouse or dependent; basic, a middle range and Prime, which allows you pretty much pick your own private doctor and local hospital and outpatient care. Few years ago my lovely bride had surgery to remove a benign mass on her finger, she was referred to a surgeon at Scripps La Jolla. I never saw one bill, what her medicare didnt cover, Tricare did.

Bet your sweet ass Ill never see that again, with Obamacare after they wreck the system.

Glenn, it becomes more imperative each election cycle that we get rid of the rot in the framework of our government, rot like Nazi Pelousy, John I-Lied-About-Haditha-But-Don’t-Care Murtha, Dingy Harry Reid and, yes, Duh-1. And the Democrats by no means have a stranglehold on being that rot.

Every cycle rotting vermin like this is left in the seat of power everyone’s authority over government is diminished, our freedoms are eroded and the ability to do anything about it is more constricted than the time before.

Of course, it would help if the vast majority of voters in this country hadn’t been “educated” by the government, for the government. Their inability to think critically and recognize outright lies gives credence to the phrase “suspension of disbelief”, once used by the wife of a former president to describe accusers of her husband (who, it turned out, were in fact correct in their assessment of him).

And finally, yes, the provision of health care was part of the contract between you and the country. It will be interesting to see how His Hollowness justifies the lie that eliminates that contract.

USN,
That is the good thing, finding it in time. And basically it was the luck of the draw! A lady I know thinks I’m nuts because I told her having it removed was a good thing. When I told her that the kidney with it’s tumor being gone would keep me around for alot longer, she finally understood. I did have to repeat myself, though. Maybe she wanted me to take the “blue pill?”
Carlos,
Maybe not platinum care but at least decent care. When I was getting ready to leave in September of ‘73, my recruiter, OS1 Woody Harwood, told me one thing that stuck in my mind. He said, stay in for 20 and your country will take care of you. It is just fulfillment of obligations on both party’s parts. And when I went in, I was just going to do one hitch. I had a pretty good time and it beat trying to do anything in my hometown.
The uninitiated have no concept that Tricare as used by retirees is paid for with more than just dollars. We are not a politically correct, properly oppressed group in the view of our current CinC and his crowd. I put the likes of Queen Nancy at the top of my list.

And the reason they’ll go after it? Because too many people are using it waaaayyy too often and it’s not cost effective and…

Never mind that, by your service, you’ve earned platinum care for life.

Then, when that’s accomplished, they’ll go after Medicare/Medicaid, same reason.

And then, by golly, they’ll just up and decide the insurance companies still aren’t being fair with their customers (which means basically not enough signed up for government lollipops), so they’ll pass a new law saying private insurance is now illegal (except, of course, for Congress’) and Presto! you have a single-payer system and wasn’t that fun, boys and girls?

And, BTW, Rep. Wilson was spot-on with his call-out.

You got that right AMH1! You know damned well, they’ll be coming after Tricare, like white on paper. That’ll be the first one to fold.

Glad to hear you got it in time!

Sarah nailed him to the proverbial wall. Nuff Said.
I had a consult/appointment with a urologist yesterday. It was for a Renal Mass on the left kidney. It had been found on a CT scan a week prior. I had the scan for digestive tract issues. Good news, the kidney is coming out on the 21st. It was caught early enough. Seventeen days from discovery to surgery. Pretty damn good. I am unemployed at present but still have my Tricare coverage. It is one of those things that I earned after 20 years of service. If this had happened under the proposed “obambozocare” I would have been forced to make my peace with my maker. Two things against me in this, Retired from the Armed Forces and I just hit 55 years.

Sara gets it, thats why the leftist media from Maher to Blitzer are villifying her.

But, Chairman Obama has another problem swimming at snorkel depth:
ACORN and the puke rotten sewer gthey live in.

I wont go off topic here, just see Matt Drudge and Glenn Beck.

Sarahcuda has that name for a reason, and Obama is now finding out personally why. Now, even his tactics of deflection and obfuscation aren’t working.

This is a good thing.

I wonder what would happen if the jackasses (starting with Duh-1 and Nazi Pelousy) were honest about what they really want to do with health care? Couldn’t be any worse for them than it already is.

But of course that will never happen. That takes honesty, an almost absent commodity in D.C.
