It's great that the TRICARE inpatient fees were blocked. If people commit to making the military a career, the government should keep its part of the bargain. We always have money for everyone in the world who needs help, but not our own people. Let's start putting our veterans first! Good work, Congress on this one!
One new disappointment is that the Democratically-led Congress couldn’t find money to support President Obama’s call to phase in “concurrent receipt” for disabled retirees who are forced by ailments or injuries to leave service before completing 20 years’ service.
The one thing that people should remember, is that it was The Congress that initiated this thing, just so that they could then be seen as the saviors of Tricare and the "potential" savings of the proposed added costs. It's crap.
It would seem that they are NEVER going to address "Concurrent Receipt", and it is foolhardy to assign that failure of wisdom, to this President.

Foolhardy my butt. This president is so corupt and inept that his OWN congress won't back him fully. Even you saw what happened when "Mr. Change" tried to ram this health care boondoggle down everyone's throat.
