Did you miss this? - IMaDick - 03-01-2012
> Bad press, including major mockery of the play by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 billion annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty. The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal.

> "Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute.." "I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country, "Obama continued "I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit.. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."

They are calling this an erumor, while the President was trying to make private insurance pay for the medical costs of our service members and He did actually try to get the veterans admin to go along with it, jon stewart has been blamed for the above statement.
You have to wonder about a Preident that would try to abandon our service members, want them to have to use their own private insurance and still push obamacare down the throats of everyone.
Who is obamacare for?

Just how much are these guys supposed to give for their country? Bush told us all to go shopping while our service men fought and died and Obama tells the service men to pay for their own insurance while they risk their lives fighting to defend American Principles and protect US sovereignty.
