If anyone is still looking at this one, we all need to keep this in mind when we vote. It would actually be nice to trade for the Healthcare the Congress has. What a pipe dream that would be. We are not going to get version the Retired Officers Association gets (that redition doesn't use the Democrats New Dictionary meaning of the word "entitlement." Their's states that an "entitlement" is a free perk subject to change as they see fit. Military usually doesn't tent to support them, therefore they reciprocate - "screw the military, who needs them?"
Quick points: they eliminated all veterans service organizations and association from the closed hearings. One exception (done for cover) they allow one senior officer from the Retired Officers Saaociation as a military representative. They want these meeting to be in "Off Years" when no elections are going to influence how members may vote.
