I Got your back…I Love the Military

Obama Urges Congress to Support Tricare Fees

On Monday the White House pressed the Pentagon to rein in Tricare costs and begin a new round of base closings as the Senate took up the National Defense Authorization Act on the military’s 2014 budget….

Veterans and  Retirees Write your Politicians and remind them that we fought for our right to vote and that we do exercise it… A lot of us were promised Free medical if we gave the Government 20 years… Now we pay through the teeth twice?

Rats leavung a Shrinking Ship??? Kurt Schrader, Peter DeFazio part ways with Democratic leaders on health insurance bill | OregonLive.com

 Rats leaving the Sinking Ship???

Schrader and DeFazio are the two Democrats in the delegation who face potentially competitive reelection races next year, and they have both been more apt to criticize the president than other Democrats in the delegation.

DeFazio said in a statement that he has always been willing to support "common sense fixes" to the Affordable Care Act and that "he joined with Democrats and Republicans to make it easier for Oregonians who like their insurance plan to keep that plan."

Schrader expressed similar sentiments, saying in a statement that it would help "provide folks who have lost their existing insurance plans with some certainty for the time being."

"I can't think of another time when the State Department will have been required to take over a mission of this magnitude," Grant S. Green, a member of the special Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan, told The Washington Times.
