Obama’s position on Veteran’s Healthcare

Perhaps everyone knows this, but…

Mockery by mainstream media appears to have pushed Obama to abandon his proposal to require veterans to carry private health insurance. His plan was to include them in Obamacare and require them to cover the estimated $540 million annual cost for treatment of injuries to military personnel received during active duty. He admitted being puzzled by the magnitude of opposition to the ridiculous proposal.

He complained, "Look, it's an all volunteer force. Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute. I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country.”

He said, "I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."

Apparently he thinks veterans should pay for their own health care, but the tax payer should pay for the healthcare of deadbeat illegal immigrants on welfare.
