I read about this once already. I don't understand it. I thought Obama wanted a health care plan, a nationalized health care plan along the line so the UK or Canada. It looks as if that's only going to be available to poor black people who have never served our country and are in favor of letting the government take care of them from the cradle to the grave. The very thought of making military members use private insurance for military related sickness or injuries is unconscionable. The man is dismantling America and everything she stands for, it breaks my heart.
The President of the United States and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, is a charlatan.
A betrayer to the very men and women who serve under him.
How dare he take it unto himself to deprive the American people of their duty and honor to the men and women who fight and die to keep us free? How dare he?
He is to serve the people, he has not been crowned king. He may fancy himself a dictator, but he is not.
This action serves to show the lack of decency in this man. What manner of man is this, who wants all of us under government health care, and the only ones we have a duty to provide that for, are to be excluded.
Not to mention the fact that these young military personnel who die and fight for our freedom, are ill paid to afford private insurance and many come back with broken bodies, and some with broken minds, expensive treatment which is an added burden to an already burdened private system.
I think this is why he's doing this. To overburden the private healthcare system thereby justifying forcing private citizens into government healthcare. And in so doing, to hell with our military. He doesn't care.
There is a cruelty to this that is inexplicable. We are I think, seeing the true Barack Obama.
God help us all.

I'm on my way.
I left the following comment at Mustang's site:
Mr. AOW and I have been desperately searching for private health insurance for over a year. In fact, Mr. AOW has been flat out denied coverage by any health-insurance carrier because he has multiple pre-existing conditions; fortunately, he will be able to obtain some coverage via HIPAA; we don't yet know the monthly premium nor the parameters of the coverage, but have been told by an insurance representative that the premium will be at least $460 a month.
The insurance company tells me that I've finally been approved for coverage, but I don't know the cost -- except to say that the cost has to be at least $215 a month, for a policy with a high deductible and very limited coverage for prescription medications.
The above said, I know for a FACT that wounded veterans are going to be hit with a cost they may not be able to pay for at all! Or they may be denied coverage altogether as has been Mr. AOW (except for HIPAA coverage).
Fact: bankruptcies resulting from medical bills and medical expenses are a high percentage of the total number of bankruptcies, even for people with health insurance.
I'd also like to point out something else: stripping veterans of their medical benefits, no doubt a despicable action, will not only reduce the effectiveness of the Armed Forces of the United States. The change will jack up rates, probably to unaffordable levels across the board for non-veterans too. Get ready for millions more without health insurance. And get ready for millions being forced into Medicaid and Medicare Disability -- on the taxpayers' backs, of course.
In my view, BHO is on the path to nationalize health care. Stripping veterans of medical care is but one step along that path.
lovelyprism, I don't think it's only for any one segment of our community.
There are plenty of poor of all shapes and colors, right!
But, no...he wants us to all have to take the medical care the gov't wants to give...UNLESS we're military. I'm hoping we're misreading the situation. Yes, it breaks my heart as it stands.
I just had a CHILLING thought:
Some of the reasons SOME of our service people go INTO the military is for BENEFITS.
Is this a conscious move to weaken us still? I pray to God I'm wrong. I doubt I'm right, but one has to be informed and at least
consider this possibility.
Always: Please let us know how that goes. Thanks for sharing your story....I SO hope something finally works out for you. I'm writing you personally now and telling you what we pay, with a huge deductible. Make sure you sit when you are reading! xxx
Is there a better way to destroy the dedication and positive attitudes of our military population? Unquestionably, President and Commander-In-Chief Obama does not appreciate the sacrifice and allegiance of the troops. Likewise, he has no commitment to his role as leader of U.S. Armed Forces.
Since our military is constituted of bounteous, fearless, purposeful souls, who voluntarily submit themselves to danger, in order to protect and serve us, the promises made to them and government's obligations due to them should be unbreakable. Indeed, sacrosanct.
President Obama's violation of U. S. soldiers' rights reveals the villain within. We have an apostate in the Oval Office.

Lovelyprism, I need you to understand one thing which is this: The majority of black people, poor or otherwise, believe in taking care of themselves and their families. So, please don't get caught up in the HYPE you see flashing across the television of what you read in the MSM.
The majority of us 'Black People', putting it in your terms, are in favor of letting The God We Serve Take Care of Us From The Cradle to The Grave. You know it's ignorant statements like what you said is the one of the main reasons for the division which remains in this country of ours. And, personally I'm sick of it.
Sorry, Z.
Blessings.
IHS..I thank you.
Lovely Prism,
Do YOU favor a National Healthcare Plan like Canada's? If so, please give us some further details.
You are, indeed, lovely, by the way, if that truly is your picture. ;-)
I'm sorry you got called down for being politically incorrect. I think I.H.S. is probably correct in his assertion that the majority of Blacks really do take care of themselves, and do not WANT to be dependent on the government. There has been great deal of upward mobility in the Black Community in my lifetime, and I am very glad to see it.
However, it is still true that a far greater percentage of Blacks, trapped in the Great Society morass, wind up in jail, remain chronically unemployed, and resort to drug abuse and violence out of a sense of hopelessness and desperation than other ethnic groups. Remember, please, we are talking about PERCENTAGES not NUMBERS.
I believe this sad situation exists largely BECAUSE of the machinations of leftist "do-gooders" who have done great harm to the traditional Black family structure with the destructive requirements and negative non-standards imposed by the Welfare State.
Jazz --- a product of America's Black Culture --- is a wholly original, brilliant, admirable phenomenon. I love it. It's healthy, expressive, ingenious, intriguing, exciting and beguiling.
The so-called "music" that has com e from this same sector since the advent of Welfare Statism and Affirmative action, however, is in my never humble opinion the musical equivalent of EXCREMENT --- moral and cultural POLLUTION.
I see a clear connection between the evolutionary change from heavenly Jazz to satanic Gangstah Crap in the social policies fostered by government in the past forty-five or fifty years.
Yes we all must take responsibility for ourselves, BUT more blame should be laid at the feet of Cultural Marxism than those of the "victims" those demons pretend to "help."
"Anonymous". I'm sorry you consider it being "politically correct" for someone to remind us all that there are fine Black families in America who do NOT believe in 'cradle to grave'. And plenty who've served in our military.
I'm happy you like jazz....I'll just add that there are plenty of excellent White jazz musicians, too (I like to include myself as a mediocre jazz musician, as a matter of fact).
The "Great Society" wasn't 'great' for ANY of us.
Z,
I posted on this as soon as I got home. I linked an article that kind of spells out what the Legion commander said about his meeting with the "ONE." As a veteran I'm incensed, as an American I'm sickened.
Is it any wonder the military greets him tepidly?

Anonymous, you ever stop to think that there was a problem even before the so-called leftist do-gooders? Could it perhaps started with the oppression of an entire race of people and the denial of basic civil liberties? And, yet we have thrived; even in the face of the Establishment which was at the time both democrat and republican. And, since you want to talk percentages; there are more whites on Welfare than there are Blacks...Percentagely Speaking.
If we are to be ONE NATION UNDER GOD then by all means let's be ONE NATION and stop with the poor blacks and poor whites, CRAP. Can we do that, please?
Blessings.

When I gave a friend to a local Buchanan County, Missouri free clinic I ran into a disabled Veteran that was seeking medical attention. It is making more seance now. This stinks and I don't mean I smell the corned beef and cabbage.
God Bless America, God Save The Republic.
I read somewhere, but I forget where, that NObama has had a change of mind on this issue. In talks with the American Legion and today, the V.F.W., he got more than an earful (which is a LOT with those ears) and decided that maybe he ____ed up. What a moron.
AoW's right. This is an attempt to bankrupt the current medical system by flooding the boat and justifying a national healthcare system.
My hairdresser today had heard nothing about this, and she's pretty plugged in..
We are being led like sheep to the slaughter.
If the majority of black people believe in taking care of themselves and do not want to perceive themselves as victims, why do about 98% of them vote mindlessly for Democrats?

1. Your whole premise is not only wrong, but mindlessly ignorant and disrepectful.
2. The perception of victim is in your minds eye not ours.
FT, look do me a favor and just keep what you think about black people to yourself and this way you won't show the rest of us at geeeZ how ignorant you are, OK? Thanks.
Blessings.
You're being paranoid and demanding politically-correct responses, I.H.S. I am not trying to bait you, and I certainly have no desire to insult you.
I have told no lies, and I am not mean-spirited. I am only interested in getting at the Truth not in hurting anyone's feelings.
I'm sorry, but I think it's wrong to take things personally in a place like this. It's also wrong to jump to conclusions about anyone just because you don't appreciate the facts they report or the questions they raise.
I will not be censored by anyone, unless Z chooses to block my access, which is her privilege, since she owns this blog.
You never contradicted anything said with a facts or verifiable statistics, and you never answered my question as to why such a huge percentage of Negroes vote for Democrats.
Why not talk intelligently instead of just slinging disapproval as though it were enough to counter any argument you don't wish to hear?
Do read the comments I made about To Kill a Mockingbird. It might change your negative view.
Thanks.

The majority of Negroes as you put it vote democrat because it was the democratic party which offered the most assistance during the Civil Rights Movement. And, it's only sad that they haven't removed themselves as of yet, but it still has nothing to do with the fact that the majority "Do Not" look for hand outs.
So, if blacks perceive themselves as victims do white people in the democratic party view themselves as victims, too?
Oh, and you never poised your question this way: why such a huge percentage of Negroes vote for Democrats.
You said it this way: why do about 98% of them vote mindlessly for Democrats?
Now, if you don't think you were offensive with that question then there's nothing else for me to say.
I have no problem discussing with you intelligently, but the added snide references you can keep to yourself, OK?
Blessings.
I.H.S. you may take offense all you want, but that doesn't mean I intended to be offensive.
Frankly, I find your attempts to censor me offensive, but I'm not going to make a federal case out of it.
FYI: I TAUGHT for the UNCF in the early 1960's. It was not an unpleasant experience, but it was very revealing.
My interpretation of the experience I had there was that I was not up to the job. It was too big a task for someone as young and inexperienced as I was then.
I had much better luck later on working with teenagers from the Black and Hispanic "ghettos" in New York City.
And "Negro" is not an offensive term. It is a perfectly decent word. It is in fact part of the very title of The United Negro College Fund.
I'm not your enemy, so please just relax, let me be me, while I let you be you, and I'll bet we wind up being friends.
I know you're a good guy. I just took exception to the way you called down LovelyPrism, because I was sure she meant no harm by what she said.
Actually, I don't think it's a good idea for any of us to make personal remarks about each other. I know Z doesn't like it, unless we say something particularly nice
Take care.

FT, I respect that from you.
Blessings.
Blessings to you too, I.H.S.
You take care, and I am sorry if I said anything that hurt your feelings, because that is never what I want to do. I admit to being "outspoken," and I do hate PC, but I don't think you really like PC either. Am I right?
~ FT
FT, you would be correct with your observation. I react to the tone of which something is said, and PC or no PC some things are said out of pure maliciousness.
Blessings.
