Obama Plans to Bill Private Insurance Companies for Soldiers Injured in Service
Cross posted on Grizzly Groundswell
President Obama had a meeting today with the leader of the Department of Veteran Affairs in which he has infuriated the department with his plan to bill an injured veteran’s private health insurance for treatment needed for injuries suffered while serving the country.
Depending on a veteran’s health coverage there could be deductibles and maximum insurance coverage limits not to mention the additional premiums that the insurance companies are likely to charge. All of these charges will fall on the veterans themselves or their families.
Obama states that this plan will save the government $540 million. Saving $540 million by refusing to treat injured veterans after the government just passed out $1 trillion to stimulate the economy is a pittance.
This is the most disgraceful thing that I have heard this president consider yet, it doesn’t get any more pathetic than this. This is how we treat the men and women who volunteered to serve our country? This is how we pay them back?
We send these brave heroes all over the world to protect and defend this country’s national interests and when they get hurt in the line of duty the least that America can do for them is to make sure they get the care that they need.
“This reimbursement plan would be inconsistent with the mandate ‘ to care for him who shall have borne the battle’ given that the United States government sent members of the armed forces into harm’s way, and not private insurance companies. I say again that The American Legion does not and will not support any plan that seeks to bill a veteran for treatment of a service connected disability at the very agency that was created to treat the unique need of America’s veterans!”
President Obama after passing out money to organizations like ACORN, and to illegal aliens with his bullshit stimulus plan is trying to skimp out on the people who deserve his support the most and it is reprehensible.
Seeing where Obama decided to spend trillions and where he has decided to skimp out tells us quite a bit about this man. President Obama should be ashamed of himself.

Now, every time something ne like this comes up, I ask myself, what is the real goal here? Yes it is disgusting, but I think he is trying to undermine the military without a thought to their morale. Obama wants to talk it out and ask the bad guys to be nice. There’s a reason that Hollywood/California is called LA-la land.Reality? pshaw, who needs it? Let’s all drink the kool-aid, OK? I say give it a try Joe, sometimes fresh words have just a s much weight, we all need to know how angry everyone is.
