Yes. And wait till those on Medicare get their 2015 premium notices. Mine is going up by $87 per month.
Affordable Care Act. Affordable for whom?
The Obamas, Senators and Congressmen and their staffs, moochers, illegal aliens and Africans infected with Ebola.
Affordable for Government.
You aren’t so naïve as to think they are including non-.gov citizens when they say “We”, and “Our Values”, do you?
They are saying We (the Government), and Our (those of us in the ‘ruling class’) Values.
We will probably see the same increase times 2. We only have had 1 COLA raise of 1.7% in 5 yrs, half went to Medicare. We realized a $40 SS increase. With the new DOD MANDATES, added to it, it made the ordering of medicine very complicated and Express Scripts is a KNOWN FRAUD committing agent. With Bad customer relations. His Navy pension was a 1% raise thanks to rinos like lamar alexander, who got a BIG pay raise.
Neither cover dental, glasses or hearing aids. I just shelled out $3400 for a middle of the line set of hearing aids. Then had to buy a Jabra Tour from Amazon Prime to turn my old no blue tooth car into one. You have to drive hands free on the Base.
BTW with 2 SS checks and a Navy Pension, hubby a 20 yr Navy Vet Ret. SCPO does not qualify for VA healthcare, we make TO MUCH MONEY.
We get as much of our daily meds from the Military base as we can. But it does not cover all meds. So every 3 months now ES shoves retail $3K worth of meds in our mail box UNSIGNED for. It will take an act of congress to reverse this stupidity.
It takes 3 weeks for a first fill, 2 weeks for refills at ES. Base will fill within 24 hrs, but does not do refills, those come out of Pensacola, FL takes a week. All is automated for both systems.

Starting Oct. 1, the Pentagon plans to reduce Tricare Prime service areas to within a 40-mile radius of active or former military installations, forcing 173,000 retirees and their family members to switch to Tricare Standard or seek a waiver if they live within 100 miles of an existing network.
The decision will affect retirees and their dependents in Prime, and those on Tricare Young Adult Prime. That totals 98,771 people in the Tricare South

Senior Vets should be shot

My parents have gone through their savings and live on SS with $6 left at end of month. Their premiums on supplemental will be increasing $26 each next year and because of Obamacare my employer dropped my spouse from my insurance which he’s been on for the last 25 years. He now has to purchase through his employer which is much smaller company and so now we pay $120 more per month for the same coverage (only now he’s HMO) Plus car won’t make it through the winter, have to find newer one soon. How in the world can I help my folks when I’m struggling myself?
