The proposal raised the ire of prominent Democrats on the House and Senate Veterans Affairs panels. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was the first to publicly announce Wednesday afternoon that the president won’t pursue such proposal."
WTF?! Why the hell did he introduce this piece of shit in the first place?? Sooo let me get this straight. If you're in the military, and you get wounded then, if you had it, your private insurance would get dinged first...for your combat related injuries. In what way does this make sense? This is to save a reported .. let me check with the article .. $530 million?!?! With all the 'billion' dollar words floating these days this is where they want to cut the 'national deficit in half in four years.' Very distasteful.
