Reply #7: Military families will suffer if the President gets his way on benefits.

[woo me with science]

His proposal to the Super Committee brought an elderly widow I know to tears. They spent 30 years in the service, packing up and moving their family from military base to military base every two years, with the expectation that free medical care for life was part of the bargain.

Now Obama wants them to have to pay hundreds in fees per year to belong to Tricare, and he wants Tricare costs for many common prescriptions to increase from 9 to 45 dollars per prescription. This particular widow is looking at her costs to rise from about 100 dollars to nearly 500 DOLLARS every time she fills her prescriptions. She is beside herself with fear and anger. Keep the drones coming, but punish the retirees, the families who devoted their lives to this country.
