With all of the huff n’ puff, spin, and outright lies we hear and see in the media and from special interests these days, it really is a leap of faith to take stories like this seriously. The story, itself, doesn’t have any references or links or quotes.
Can we get a quote from an elected official or their spokesperson, or a HB #, or something from the VFW?
Go to the VFW link. Check with your AM Legion post in your area. VFW put out this particular info, but Townhall put out the article on 0 wanting to gut the Military. Link for that is in the body of this thread. It is an FR posted link, so you will get a lot of comments.
The Bachman links are legit. She had the nutty idea to put VA care which is on shaky ground, under the broke Medicare.
Express Scripts which provides meds for many retired Military just bought the scandal plagued Medco for $29 B. They also just offered Walgreen’s such a low reimbursement rate, Walgreen’s when their contract with Tricare is up will not be taking Tricare at all. Just more nails into a one system provider box. And if you think dealing with reg. health ins is a pain, try dealing with the witch Express Script if you need any thing but a generic and you won’t know from one month to the next if you are going to receive the same meds.
