91. Veterans benefits were not restored.
You said in your original post that veterans medical benefits were restored.

That's not true.

Retired military still get kicked off Tricare Prime at age 65.

"Tricare for life" is just a Medicare supplement. They still have to pay for part B Medicare, like everyone else. Military retirees are not getting free government health care they were promised, trust me.

Sure, it's better than getting nothing. But it is in no way what was supposedly promised, not by a long shot.
