CONFIRMED:"Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki confirmed Tuesday that the Obama administration is considering a controversial plan to make veterans pay for treatment of service-related injuries with private insurance."
Since we've all been talking about this anyway, here's the scoop:
"The leader of the nation's largest veterans organization says he is "deeply disappointed and concerned" after a meeting with President Obama today to discuss a proposal to force private insurance companies to pay for the treatment of military veterans who have suffered service-connected disabilities and injuries. The Obama administration recently revealed a plan to require private insurance carriers to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in such cases.
"It became apparent during our discussion today that the President intends to move forward with this unreasonable plan," said Commander David K. Rehbein of The American Legion. "He says he is looking to generate $540-million by this method, but refused to hear arguments about the moral and government-avowed obligations that would be compromised by it."
Of all the thing's he's said and done, this by far is the most disgusting. We have an obligation to care for the wounded vets who return from DEFENDING THIS COUNTRY. Period. Obama's lack of care for the troops over and over again cements his inability to be Commander in Chief.
He ignored wounded warriors in Germany. Skipped the veterans ball on Inauguration night, the first president to do so in over 60 years. Yeah he cares. Not.
