Support our Troops

I have been hearing about this issue from various different circles, and I loved the approach one of my friends took. So I borrowed the link off her blog, and the little excerpt about what is going on. Please take a few minutes to follow the link and then write a short response to your Govt Officials about your opinion. I have already done this, and I truly believe that cutting benefits is not the right approach. Military veterans, troops and their families have already been asked to sacrifice so much for our Country, this is not the way to repay them. Health care is vital, and it should not be the benefit that is cut back on. Thanks D. for inspiring me, and I hope that other's will follow your example and get involved about issues they feel strongly about too. Your the best!

Please follow this link to read more on the options that may affect our military health care. There is a link at the end that will allow you to write your Officials.

From Soldiersmind.com -
A recent report from the Congressional Budget Office details just one proposal that would increase out of pocket expenses for medical care for Military Families and Veterans, while others would lose their VA benefits altogether. Other proposals would raise Tricare fees, co-payments and deductibles. Veterans whose medical condition isn’t service related could end up no longer being eligible for VA medical care at all. While nothing has been approved at this juncture, the Congressional Budget Office director at this time is President-Obama’s choice to be his director of the Office of Management and Budget, and who led the work on this proposal, Peter R. Orszag, so it very possibly will have a very real, very devastating affect on our Troops and our Veterans.
