“I swear people who served and got out before retirement and mad because they don’t get the medical benefits retirees do, and want to see our retirees stripped of these benefits out of jealousy.”
This may be part of it. It may also be that we can’t afford it.
FRiend, I am sorry you cannot afford your insurance. I really wish America had not elected Obama. I feel he is trying to kill us all, in one way or another.
But my husband and I have no rich parents. We have no college degrees. We have only the little we have scraped out together for the last 24 years, raising 3 kids on one paycheck. I homeschool our youngest, who has autism.
If they take our benefits away, which they are, and will, we wasted alot of time. We have had to PCS in our daughter’s 9th and 11th grade years. It was very hard for her. We do it and did it to serve America, but also to maintain my husband’s career and what benefits he has earned.
Again, I am sorry you cannot afford insurance. We gave up alot to keep our insurance. We had to weigh our options, and we always chose to stay Active Duty, b/c we at least could have a steady benefit package. We are slaves to the whim of Congress and the jacka** in the White House, but we have medical.
Well, we will have medical until retirement. Then we will be with the rest of the retirees, paying the gov for the benefits the Soldier has already earned.
