Dave, how can this be true? When you say "our" healthcare, that is not
really accurate is it? You're covered by "Tricare" as are most
retirees and military.
And you know that TRICARE . . .
1. Already EXCEEDS the standards of the new health reform law, and
2. TRICARE WILL NOT BE TRANSFERRED to the new reform set up
3. That TRICARE operates and under a separate administration and legal
framework.


You probably didn't read any of the more than a dozen notices, emails
etc going back 2-3 months that quite clearly made this point to
everybody with the possible exception of Messrs Beck and Limbesmerch.
So here is the citation that will catch you up. (Because why else
would you pass on bad info intentionally? Certainly not for reasons of
blind ideological radicalism.)


http://www.tricare.mil/


So at least you personally will not need God to save you from the
Democrat/Communist plot to make sure that the next generation of
working people will be healthy enough to fight this Nation's battles,
raise this Nation's food, and build this Nation's economy,


Dave


I don't know if I'll get this right from memory, but maybe I'll be close
enough....

Rules for political debate when you're on shaky ground:

1. Make up facts to support your arguments (lie)
2. Try to re-frame the argument on better terms for your side.
3. Change the subject so you can frame the terms of a new argument.
4. Change a fact based argument to an emotional one where logic loses.
5. In all cases, belittle your opponent's intelligence, beliefs,
and morals. (shoot the messenger)

Based on the above criteria... hmmmm... let's see.....

Well, you definitely nailed #3 since bringing up Tricare in this
context is clearly a red herring and does not address the subject
of the OP's link.

And you sort of used #4, though in an elusive manner.

On #5, you clearly failed to stomp on the OP's morals, though you
were able to question his literacy and get a dig in at his religious
beliefs (if any).

Sorry, I have give your efforts at proper political posturing a
dismal 3.5 score. (out of 10).

Tsk. Please do better.

If you are going to get involved in these things you should at least
read the first post. Be that as it may. . .

Mostly you are full of ****. But the religious comment takes the cake.
The pirate, not me brought up his "God given rights." You remind me
of today's news in which the militia groups still on the loose say the
Michigan crazies just arrested by the FBI are getting a bad rap
because they are really "not Christian" or militia for that matter.
What nonsense.

Fact based? I guess it works for you that the Pirate presented zip, no
facts. Fact is the Pirate is mostly ignorant of even how Tricare
works. See, much of what he thinks is Tricare, is actually paid for by
Medicare, and probably the spousal insurance. And not all Tricare is
"free," nor are all covered by Tricare service personnel, nor was
Tricare around in 1956, and that many wounded are not covered, that
most war widows are not covered etc etc. You know who tries to cover
the healthcare needs of the aforementioned? Guess.

And who runs Tricare? Why it is the same Government that Dave says
can't run anything, the same Govt that runs the best military in the
world, the best postal service in the world, the most extensive
National Parks system in the world, the best weather service, coast
and geodetic service etc etc.

Here's a fact for you at no charge. In over 35 years of consulting,
much of it in fixing human service programs I learned that most MEN,
know diddle squat about health insurance or how the schools for their
kids work. Your average man for the most part is FULL OF **** AND
IGNORANCE about both healthcare and education. But that doesn't stop
men from saying and thinking all kinds of nonsense and being big
babies and whiners, or angry assholes, when they need something from
the healthcare system. I only need to point to the pictures of the
"Teabaggers" waving signs saying "Keep the Governments Hands off my
Medicare" to demo my point.

Women, on average, understand this stuff much better, and they and
their kids have to suffer the consequences of this incredible
aggressive ignorance. Work for a week in a public hospital and you
will be changed.

Well, THAT is a reasoned and intelligent response. :-)

FYI Raising a family, government, the military, education, real

endeavors essential to human progress and well being do not usually
earn a profit. In most of the developed world, the idea that health-
care should be a profit seeking business is considered bizarre.

Come on now. You can't really be that self-righteous, intolerant, and
narrow minded.... can you?

Hard to believe.

Though you were 'sort of right' about my hidden agenda with the question.

From about.com:
*******
Under federal law, only the Postal Service can handle or charge postage
for handling letters. Despite this virtual monopoly worth some $45
billion a year, the law does not require that the Postal Service make a
profit -- only break even. Still, the US Postal Service has averaged a
profit of over $1 billion per year in each of the last five years.
*****

I was just testing to see if you actually knew anything about the
government programs you touted or were just blowing smoke.

I have my answer.

B. Bunny said it best, so I won't.

David, David, David. The OP said that Social Security is bankrupt, in
the red, giving out more than it has coming in. That is FACT BASED.
What more do you want? You're the one that brought up Tricare, not me.
Tricare is also broke, as is all the healthcare goodies the government
has touched. You've admitted it yourself.

Of course Tricare is not the same as Medicare. You can call it
whatever the hell you want, but it was promised to me in 1956 and was
one of the reasons I shipped over (the first reason was my love for the
work I was doing, but I doubt any libs or progressives could understand
that). Just think; someone in the military actually loving the work
they do. I never used Tricare or Medicare when I retired because I was
covered under my civilian jobs. Ditto when I retired from industry
because I was covered under Joanne's insurance. I want nothing from my
government except that which I earned and was promised. Period.

Get off your high moral horse and admit that Social Security is in the
red (THE OP).

The pirate, not me brought up his "God given rights." You remind me
of today's news in which the militia groups still on the loose say the
Michigan crazies just arrested by the FBI are getting a bad rap
because they are really "not Christian" or militia for that matter.
What nonsense.

Fact based? I guess it works for you that the Pirate presented zip, no
facts. Fact is the Pirate is mostly ignorant of even how Tricare
works. See, much of what he thinks is Tricare, is actually paid for by
Medicare, and probably the spousal insurance. And not all Tricare is
"free," nor are all covered by Tricare service personnel, nor was
Tricare around in 1956, and that many wounded are not covered, that
most war widows are not covered etc etc. You know who tries to cover
the healthcare needs of the aforementioned? Guess.

And who runs Tricare? Why it is the same Government that Dave says
can't run anything, the same Govt that runs the best military in the
world, the best postal service in the world, the most extensive
National Parks system in the world, the best weather service, coast
and geodetic service etc etc.

Here's a fact for you at no charge. In over 35 years of consulting,
much of it in fixing human service programs I learned that most MEN,
know diddle squat about health insurance or how the schools for their
kids work. Your average man for the most part is FULL OF **** AND
IGNORANCE about both healthcare and education. But that doesn't stop
men from saying and thinking all kinds of nonsense and being big
babies and whiners, or angry assholes, when they need something from
the healthcare system. I only need to point to the pictures of the
"Teabaggers" waving signs saying "Keep the Governments Hands off my
Medicare" to demo my point.

Women, on average, understand this stuff much better, and they and
their kids have to suffer the consequences of this incredible
aggressive ignorance. Work for a week in a public hospital and you
will be changed.

Right about what? Women? Hell, if he and you are just figuring that
out, well, ya need help. d;o)

But he is NOT correct about SS being broken. THAT was the original
post. It is kaput, giving out more money than it is taking in.

BTW, I do thank you gentlemen for paying your taxes so that I can have
my stipend Navy retirement, and my stipend SS check every month. How
long can it last, however. If you folks do not have a stock portfplio
for your retirement, you are taking a helluva chance.

Bigger and bigger the monster grows. Bigger and bigger and bigger and
bigger. Will it soon burst? A giant POP heard 'round the world. BOOM
and the house of cards comes down.

Food pantry, not soup kitchen. I miss the folks invoved with it. Now
I work one morning a week for the White County Meals on Wheels. Not
quite the same clientele g but it keeps me out of trouble. Will do
the Lowell Pantry when we return to Taxachusetts.
