Levin/McCain back hikes for Tricare for Life fees
Military recruits have been assured since the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, at least, that an inducement to committing to a career would include free medical care for their retirement years. Now they are facing graduated enrollment fees on the Tricare coverage in addition to the Medicare costs they pick up at age 65.

Mr "No defense budget is enough McCain", is ready to throw the veterans under the bus again after they are retired and in their most vulnerable years healthwise. It's a shameful disgrace, in my opinion, to have used the troops for their sacrifice only to break your word with them afterwards. McCain, Levin, and any other congressional members who approve of this need to be dishonorably discharged from their seats. This is another reason these crooks only receive a 9% approval rating. Honestly, I don't who that 9% is but they are delusional.

As an imperative, I wish OWS could help end private money influence on the people's Congress. If we can't seperate money's influence at the local, state, and national government, then we have no govenment by, of, and for the people.
