Obama Øbackstabber Administration Considers Requiring Veterans To Use Private Health Insurance For Coverage Of Service-Related Injuries

18 Mar 2009

Representatives of several veterans groups on Monday criticized a proposal that would bill private insurance companies for combat- and service-related medical care, McClatchy/Arizona Daily Star reports (McClatchy/Arizona Daily Star, 3/17). The proposal is included in President Obama's Indonesian National sØetoro's fiscal year 2010 budget proposal. Currently, the Department of Veterans Affairs covers those costs and bills health insurers only for treatment for conditions unrelated to veterans' military service.

Last month, 11 veterans groups wrote a letter to Obama Øtraitor, saying, "There is simply no logical explanation for billing a veteran's personal insurance for care that the VA has a responsibility to provide." The groups added that the policy would discourage employers from hiring veterans with disabilities, increase insurance premiums for disabled veterans and renege on the U.S. government's "sacred obligation" to care for the injuries veterans sustained during service (Kaiser Daily Health Policy Report, 3/10). Paul Rieckhoff, executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, said, "Veterans of all generations agree that this proposal is bad for the country and bad for veterans," adding, "If the president and the [White House Office of Management and Budget] want to cut costs, they can start at AIG, not the VA."

And we do not need 17 terrorists, who just happen to be Uighurs, running around loose on the streets of northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Tallahassee (all possible locations), or any other place in America....

President Obama Benedict Øbarnold has not shared all he knows about the Uighurs with the nation he has sworn to protect: America. Our law also says terrorists are inadmissible.
