Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki confirmed Tuesday that the Obama administration is considering a controversial plan to make veterans pay for treatment of service-related injuries with private insurance. …
No official proposal to create such a program has been announced publicly, but veterans groups wrote a pre-emptive letter last week to President Obama voicing their opposition to the idea after hearing the plan was under consideration.
The groups also cited an increase in “third-party collections” estimated in the 2010 budget proposal — something they said could be achieved only if the Veterans Administration started billing for service-related injuries.
Asked about the proposal, Shinseki said it was under “consideration.”
“A final decision hasn’t been made yet,” he said. |

After signing a stimulus bill full of 8,500 earmarks ? I'm outraged that the Obama administration is even considering this. |

Ever hear of blowback? Our mission with Osama bin Ladin went pretty well with the Soviets but look what came of it! It does look like our training we paid for Osama worked out pretty well for him. Our nation is going bankrupt just like the Soviets with they took on the U.S. funded and supported Taliban. |

Obama takes a dive on earmarks
"There are 9,000 earmarks in the omnibus appropriations bill about which Obama gave his pork talk on Wednesday."
Apparently the earmarks are only like $8 billion which is basically chump change to our socialist goverment. |
