1. God, I hate BushCo. I'm not supposed to hate anyone.

Do you remember that the same day they invaded Iraq they were cutting the VA budget?

F*ckheads.

2. I heard God couldn't forgive Satan

Because Satan was unrepentent. Shouldn't the same rules apply?

4. Fort Monmouth is closing

Wasn't it on the BRAC list to close?

Tricare Prime is EXCELLENT insurance, I have it and it pays wonderfully. I think most military people are just used to going to the Post clinic and it is an adjustment to switch to Civilian Doc's.

The MS medicine I am on costs 400$ a week, I pay 36$ a YEAR!!!

5. Its not its going to be closed

Four Doc's are leaving reason underpayed. Your one of the lucky ones. Reports from all over the Country clinics are being closed. Nurses and Doctors are leaving because of lack of help and care cuts

6. Health care is one of the reasons we use so many private contractors

Or at least that is what this article I read said, and I am sorry I don't have a link, but anyway it was saying that the regular troops that enlist, no matter what happens to them they have to give them free health care for life. And that there have been so many advances that people who used to would have been killed now just have wounds but they are the kind of wounds that need like a whole bunch of health care and medicine etc for the rest of their lives.

But the private contractors don't get that no matter how bad their wounds are, that is up to the company they work for which is not our military so even though they charge a lot more than the troops get paid it works out cheaper because we don't have to give them all that health care for their whole life with these terrible wounds.
