Boy Wonder is admitting that “free healthcare” paid for by the government does not work. Too expensive.

Spot on. But Obama's way of thinking is that our troops are harming the most sainted people on Earth...his filthy scum relatives.

The VFW and AL both supported Obama...

What goes around comes around.

Military coup, anyone? Or a complete stand-down until these idiots (and Congress) resign en masse?

How anyone could serve under this Administration...

Good to see you, Doc!

Look, I'm not saying this is right or I support it, it's wrong on multiple levels.

But is this really a policy where if a vet has insurance they're going to try to whack his (or her) insurance company? I guess the Vet is on the hook for the deductible, (which is pretty contemptible in its own right)?

It's not as though they're going to be sending $200k medical bills to our Best and Bravest, right?

I mean, Obama and his minions are creeps with no ethics, but that would be beyond the pale.

WOW. Just WOW. This guy just blew through two organizations of supporters in a single clip. At this rate, he’ll have Berkley Dems in white sheets coming after him with nooses.

“We all knew Obama had nothing but disgust and contempt for the military.”

He’s doing everything that his Hollywood buddies have dreamed of.

Even Clinton didn’t sink this low.

The only silver lining I can see out of this, is if the CIC orders the militia to “control” and fire on the US’s citizens, they may think twice after he screwed them like this.

I don't think you meant this quite the way it came out.

You know that almost none of our troops would follow that order under those circumstances, right?

They know darn well who stands for this country and who's a marxist traitor.

I am truly ashamed of the leadership of this country.

We haven't had any true leadership in the Oval Office in over 20 years. The last leader left the White House in early 1989. It's been one Corporate Shill after another since then covering special interest and this is more of the same thing. Who's friends are going to get to hold the money?

Just so everyone is clear on what we are talking about here: Not all service connected injuries or ailments are combat related.

Has there been a proposal for them to pay for their ammunition and transportation to the war zone?

You know last week when Michelle went to talk to military familes I wondered what they were up to? They seem to say one thing while doing quite another behind the scenes. There should be a million veterns surrounding the Whitehouse in protest of this and with the rest of us behind them. This is not right.

“You almost wonder if his inner circle is setting him up...”

Something’s wrong because he appears to be a walking contradiction.

"The administration is considering charging veterans’ health insurance plans earned through civilian employment for VA’s costs in treating service-connected injuries or ailments."

Apparently it's not exactly clear.

When we rewrite the Constitution we need to include the statement that all Federal political office holders will receive the exact same medical coverage as our veterans.

Maybe CIC BO could volunteer to go to Afghanistan to help out??? Maybe scout around for some moderate muzzies on his own? Unarmed of course...wouldnt want to scare the mohamed out of them by brandishing weapons...

Why it could mean “Peace In Our Time” </sarcasm off>

Bite your fingers we wont be rewriting the Constitution any time soon I hope, especially while this group is in charge.

They're too busy trying to cover their behinds to think about the people they serve.

It gets worse, Can you imagine a Vet trying to get a new insurance policy in the future when the insurance company knows the VA is going to put the arm on them for a pre-existing condition?
