Does Pres. Obama hate Veterans enough to make them pay for services rendered at the VA hospitals?

Update:

Did a couple of you even READ the article?... He wants veterans private insurance companies to REIMBURSE the VA for treatments that these Veterans receive when coming back from war... No I myself am not a Veteran... my father, step-dad and grandfathers all are... I am a member of the Auxiliary as is my mother, grandmother and my father and grandfather are all members of the Legion... we all have been for YEARS.... Pres. Obama wouldn't even listen to Commander Rehbein's arguments against that... why else would Obama not listen other than either hate or spite....

Update 2:

Information Police... what happens when their Insurance has a deductible that must be paid BEFORE the insurance will be paid? What happens when the veteran reaches the maximum insurance coverage limits? Who pays then? The government or the Veteran?

Update 3:

ParkerD.... Bush is FAR from my "Messiah"... In fact, I disagreed with him just as much as I do Obama.

Update 4:

Wow.... the insurance will not pay once you reach the maximum coverage limit... If you have a deductible, Insurance will not pay until it is met....

    Veterans already pay out of pocket when they use VA hospitals. My husband is on disability and they take a portion of his check for his drugs. VA won't accept medicare for services, go figure.

    I study the link. i chanced on no theory. i did no longer see the place Obama helps the variety of theory. in step with threat you have yet another link with information to assist your conclusions? Edit: back, I study the finished difficulty. i think i could desire to have stopped on the 1st sentence, yet I persevered. i wish it somewhat is great. From the item you place up: "No expert theory to create the variety of software has been introduced publicly, yet veterans communities wrote a pre-emptive letter final week to President Obama voicing their opposition to the assumption after listening to the plan replaced into under attention." in fact there replaced right into a rumor and a few communities reacted pre-emptively to it. So how does that help your statements that the variety of plan definitively exists and that Obama helps it?

    Yes he does hate veterans enough to do that, however he has voiced that he would like to cooperate with "moderate" elements of the Taliban, so its all right! right?

    Even though I do think it is kind of weird, when it comes to this aspect he is so happy to support private insurance companies, yet what he really wants to do is make everybody pay the same amount in their taxes to receive the same amount of insurance, no matter how much you really need, or how much you actually want.

    You are misguided. He isn't going to make veterans pay for health treatment - he is going to make their insurance companies pay, if they have insurance. If they don't have insurance, the government pays.

    I thought liberals didn't want the government to pay for healthcare. Why don't you love this plan?

    EDIT: Regarding copays and deductables: I cannot comment since I don't know what the plan calls for. I would be in favor of the government paying for any out of pocket expenses.

    But really, I have to pay copays and I don't whine about it.

    BTW, the article says the American Legion is in favor of Medicare reimbursing the VA instead of private health insurance. That is incredibly stupid. It won't recoup any money because the government pays for medicare, too!

    The hatchling are thick tonight, and they are regurgitating undigested garbage relentlessly.

    If they could find two brain cells in the void between their ears they might generate an original thought. But that would be too excruciating for the hatchling nation.

    Yes.

    He canceled a visit with injured troops in Germany, and now this.

    I don't know what's worse.....what Obama is doing - or the Sheeple that make excuses for Obama's appalling behavior.

    Read the entire article. The vets will not pay, if they have insurance, their private insurance companies will pay.

    Perhaps if you read the article you would have realized how foolish your question really is.

    I still remember the horrid conditions at Walter Reed a couple of years ago, and still remember how your messiah President Bush cut benefits to veterans.

    So in answer to your question no.

    bush is the tyrant that put those policies in place but you can be sure obama will over turn that in the near future.

    The military is an obstacle for him, so he has to break their backs... this is one way of doing it... He's going to keep them overseas, provide less funding, the Dem's always do and fill it's ranks with flagrant homosexuals... would you join under those conditions?
