Rush: Obama to veto military appropriations to force military off TRICARE
Rush Limbaugh Show | 6/29/12 | Limbaugh

Posted on 06/29/2012 10:34:59 AM PDT by pabianice

Now on Rush. Claims that Obama is threatening to veto military appropriations unless Congress raises TRICARE fees for active and reserve military and their families. Rush's take: to force military off of TRICARE and into his desired single payer Obamacare, to be announced after the election.

This is the first I’ve heard of it. I use TRICARE. Of course, I wouldn’t expect this marxist government to be forthright about it.

They said that this was coming when the damn thing was voted on.

VA organizations are going to have a *fit*.

There are no limits to the evils of the left.

The Constitution and its guardians have failed.

In November, we can try the ballot box and hope fictional and dead voters aren't enough to pull out a win for the tyrants and parasites.

If that fails too, there is a third option, one that will limit the evils of the far left. I hope and pray that we will be able to avoid that costly option, but we must avoid ObamaCare with its abortion surcharge, its mandatory birth control and abortion coverage, and its general trampling of fundamental individual rights.

I’ve been hearing for some time that TRICARE fees were going up.

Today was one of the few days I remember Rush, the eternal optimist, being rather negative.

But... but... yesterday, we were told HERE that Tricare was NOT going to be impacted by ObamaTAX.

Could it be that our masters (gasp) LIED to us?!?

Hey, Scott...
Panetta has already gone on record for raising Tricare fees and making people on Tricare For Life pay a fee also.
MOAA is fighting it so a good source of info...
Maybe now the troops will turn their backs on O’bummer like the VFW did to Bush 41.
But not holding my breath...

It’s to force them (the military) over to the government health care (ObamaScare) plans...all part of the plan.

I have a Health Savings Account. The yearly limit I can contribute will be lowered from $3,000 to $2,500.

IOW, the government is telling me I can't put $500 of my own money away to be used for health services of my choosing.

Elections have consequences.

We chose a Black Liberation Socialist over a weak Pubbie.

Ummm... YES.

They'll say, with wide eyed innocence, that nobody is taking away our TRICARE. We'll just have to pay our fair share, which will keep escalating until it's cheaper to drop it.

TRICARE is government healthcare.

Obama sez it’s a PENALTY to be in the military. Thanks again, John Roberts.
