Once again military and especially retirees are getting the shaft! When my husband began his enlistment in 1982, the "contract" was that he and his family would receive FREE medical care while he was active duty and FREE medical care for life if he made the military a career and retired after 20 years. He served 22 years and during that time our benefits were chipped away starting with dental then the closing of medical care facilities and emergency rooms and then to having to pay a premimum and copays for Tricare Prime now that he is retired.

Now, it sounds like we are going to loose the option of Tricare Prime altogether. Meanwhile Michelle Obama's shoe and purse collection could support a family of 4 for the remainder of his term.....lets not even get started on their "date nights" that my tax dollars are financing! If costs need to be cut then start at home Mr. President and Congress!!!!
