You might remember if you’ve been around here that long, back in August, we reported that Stephen Buyer warned that the healthcare bill penalized veterans<\/a> who rely on their earned medical benefits as their primary provider. In fact, I asked the question<\/a> just the other day.<\/p>\n

Well, according to the VFW<\/a>, I was asking the right questions all along, and no one wasanswering for a good reason;<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president and the Democratic leadership are betraying America’s veterans,\u201d said Thomas J. Tradewell Sr., a combat-wounded Vietnam veteran from Sussex, Wis., who leads the 2.1 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. and its Auxiliaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what makes matters worse is the leadership and the president knows the bill is flawed, yet they are pushing for passage today like it\u2019s a do-or-die situation. This nation deserves the best from their elected officials, and the rush to pass legislation of this magnitude is not it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently, Buyer saw it comingback in August and no one did anything about it – that means to me that it was intentional on the part of the people who wrote the bill. Otherwise, they would have fixed it. We saw last year how this government tried to finance their health care bill on the backs of service-connected disability veterans and they caved pretty quickly – now we know why. <\/p>\n

The folks who play at being veteran advocates, like those at VoteVets<\/a>, have been telling us to sit down and shut up. I hope veterans remember in November. <\/p>\n

ADDED: Defense Secretary Gates claims that TRICARE meets the minimum requirements<\/a> of the health care. I guess we can expect Shinseki’s blowjob <\/del>support any minute, too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
