Veterans and members of the military who completed 20 years of service should not have increased premiums to compare with those of the civilian population. There just isn't any comparison. Only the military membership endures harms way and constant base changes, alerts, etc. Whose fuzzy thinking is this that want to characterize a comparison in costs to equal those that civilians pay? This is wrong and a slap in the face to all military membership. As a military retired member, I and all others in the military have earned our right to keep our costs LOW and not have them upgraded by bureaucratic bean counters! This government can give $700 billion to banks without accountability, let's no longer have someone say, it's a money issue...
