I have a question for all of Congress. Why doesn’t TriCare or Medicare cover respite care for veterans, but Medicaid covers it for welfare queens?
I’m caring for my disabled husband at home, but it’s been five years, and instead of getting easier it’s getting harder. If I don’t get some help, I’ll have to put him in a nursing home. Why? Why can’t he get the care he needs? He earned it. He’s paying extra for TriCare and Medicare in order to get the best coverage available to military retirees, and they’re giving that coverage away to people who haven’t earned it and probably never will.
So please, ask him why, and what’s being done to fix this.
If anyone should be receiving the best medical coverage provided by the U.S. government, it should be the military and our veterans. They truly did earn it.
I will. I promise you.
