Obama Wants US Veterans to Pay for service-related Injuries

Oakman

Actually I am surprised that Clinton or Bush2 didn't try to pull this off; guys who don't serve may talk about supporting the troops, but they sure as heel don't walk the walk. I suppose it's been that way since the days of Nebechanezzer, but you're right to be pissed.

I have no intention of responding to you posts as long as you include your racist BS.

It really does not make sense. I would think that Obama would link up the Veteran’s Administration, it’s hospital chain, with Medicare and Medicaid when piecing together his National Health Service. To tell service men to use their own insurance to pay for injuries, and health care he undermines his goal. Very confusing behavior.

er, you just did. which part do you think racist? Could it be, "Magic" or, "Negro" ??

Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

he's doing two things: fucking over the military, trying to turn the public against insurance companies to further his health care agenda because to begin with he knows full well (or is too stupid to come in out of the rain) that insurance companies do not cover pre-existing conditions. So if you're ex-military with a war related injury and try to buy insurance coverage for that condition, it won't happen and the public will be outraged. your other point may well be the truth, he wants to take the country down a peg - I've always though he was a Manchurian Candidate, just a matter of when it is all activated.

Mike, I've wondered if you'd use that phrase in describing Obama, if you were face to face with J.C. Watts, or Clarence Thomas; two people with whom I imagine you find yourself in political agreement more often than not.

As a chicken hawk, what makes you think you have anything to add to what he says?

two of my favorites, but yes, if I were face to face with either or both I would reference the man using the same terms while adressing both of them as Mr. or Sir or Justice as appropriate. I have -0- respect for Obama, he comes out of corrupt Chicago / Illinois politics and is dragging this country to places I don't want to see it go. Since the votes have been counted and he's at the helm for the next 4 years all I can do is show him the same level of respect as was shown previous presidents by their detractors - but the sobriquet Magic is mild compared to that.

I am actually pretty damn sure we are free to insult the man however we please. The standard of respect for a president has been well established by the democrats.

Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Stan Shannon

Just for the record, I am one veteran who served to defend this country from precisely the political agenda Obama is implementing. The party platform of the democrats is what all previous generations of American fought to be free from - centralized political power, not the christian living next door.

Oh he's that, too; according to his own postings he used to hide in the sewers because he was afraid he'd get beaten up after school. But he's also right up there with Cheney and all the others who were too chicken to enlist or even leave themselves open to the draft, but now that they're too old, are hawks, willing to fight to the last ounce of everyone else's kids' blood.

No shit, Sherlock. And I'm free to point out - and be disgusted by - racism.

No, my link points out that it is all speculation on what he will do. It was true 5 days ago, it's true today.

John's link quotes someone who had just met with the President

Which is really irrelvant, since the subject of this thread is: "Obama Wants US Veterans to Pay for service-related Injuries" which is nothing but speculation. As I said originally - unlikely.
