The Obama administration on Friday threatened ( the real terrorist ) to veto a defense
appropriations bill in part because it does not include higher health
care fees for members of the military.
“The Administration is disappointed that the Congress did not
incorporate the requested TRICARE fee initiatives into either the
appropriation or authorization legislation,” the White House wrote in an
official policy statement expressing opposition to the bill, which the
House approved in May.
President Obama’s most recent budget proposal includes billions of
dollars in higher fees for members of TRICARE, the military health care
system, and is part of the administration’s plan to cut nearly $500
billion from the Pentagon’s budget.
Some fear the administration’s proposal is an effort to increase
enrollment in the state-run insurance exchanges mandated under the
president’s controversial health care law.
The administration urged ( aka arm twisting) the House to “reconsider” to fee increase,
arguing they are “essential for DOD to successfully address rising
personnel costs.”
The House bill has significant bipartisan support, and easily passed by a margin of 299 to 120.

So many so called benefits have dwindled away yet we have the obama and crew bailing out private unions for being stupid and greedy, while now telling the military to F Off. Just more proof the obama hates America and her Military personnel past and present.
