Obama mulls making vets foot bill for service injuries

By David Goldstein, McCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

'WASHINGTON—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 long-standing pledge to pay for health care costs that result from their military service....'

Yup, that's your newly elected commander in chief proposing to send our service men and women off to war then force them to use private insurance to cover the cost of injuries they may suffer.

What a guy!

While his squeeze is out hustling votes from GI families by wringing her hands over service families having to live on food stamps while the husband is off fighting our wars for a few hundred bucks a month of military pay, the chief squeezer wants to destroy the honorable tradition of a country taking care of the men and women it asks to defend it.

Unfortunately, Obama has a long line of poor ideas and America (in an effort to make history) has joined him by making a poor choice. That being said, recent history has also shown a less that honorable treatment of our injured veterans, by a poorly administrated and underfunded Veterans Association. May God forgive us all for turning a blind eye and allowing such a travesty to be considered the American way!
