The US Military has a “you break it, you buy it” philosophy when it comes to troops getting injured in the line of duty — namely, if you become disabled while serving your country, the US Government just “bought” whatever you injured as is responsible for providing you medical care (at the Government’s expense) for that disability.
Never before has a politician suggested that men and women wounded in the defense of their nation should actually be responsible for paying for their own treatment. Why hasn’t anybody ever suggested it before? Because it’s morally repugnant and indefensible.
Unless of course you’re Barack Obama.
Who happens to think that Veterans should be forced to use their own private insurance to pay for wounds they received while fighting for their country.
In other words, Obama wants every civilian in this country to get free, nationalized health care, yet he wants wounded veterans to pay for their own treatment?
As one of those disabled veterans who would be direclty affected by this change in law, I’d like to offer up a hearty middle-fingered salute to Mr. Obama and tell him to go fuck himself.
Adding insult to injury
While Obama is busy spending billions upon trillions of dollars on Democrat pet projects, he wants Veterans to pay for their own health care? And on top of that (as if that’s not revolting enough), Obama also wants to tax health care benefits.
(Michelle Malkin asks, “What isn’t the Administration Open to Taxing?”
Don Surber quips, “The government takeover of the health care industry is the single biggest threat to everyone’s health.”)
So, not only will veterans be forced to use their own health insurance to pay for their treatment, but Dear Leader wants to tax them for that privilege, too.
Is there any wonder why active duty military and veterans hate Obama so much? When the coming revolution happens, and armed citizens march on D.C. to remove and replace our current government, who does Barack, Nancy, and Harry think is going to stand between them and the pissed-off nation? The military?
If that’s the case, I hope they have a Plan B…
