Increasing Tri-Care (military health care) fees on our Veterans is DOA
Is President Obama being setup from Defense Security Gates? The plan to reduce the military budget on the backs of our veterans is a Trojan Horse. Does the President know what can of worms he's opening by throwing our veterans under the bus?

1. Junior increased fees and reduced eligibility.
He quadrupled prescription drug copayments. And for the first time ever, he instituted means testing for Enrollment Priority 8 veterans, turning away almost all vets in this category who applied on or after January 17, 2003. Obama significantly raised ceiling, making many more vets eligible, but did not eliminate the Bush means test.

Junior suffered no repercussions at all for doing this.
