DUmmies have no idea how private insurance works.

As a vet with service related injuries I am so mad words fail me.

14. Contrary to Cdr. Rehbein' hyperbolic prose, there is no plan to bill veterans.
   
Rather it is a proposal to bill whatever insurance they have from another source.

No mandate is violated: care is provided at no cost to the vet.

You have fallen into the Republan frame on this.
There are a few voices of reason in there.

33. I disagree. The extra cost the private insurance companies incurr
   
will be passed on to the veterans in the form of higher premiums.

They ALWAYS think that all this care is free.  Why are they so f*ckin stupid?  Do doctors, nurses, pharmacists, orderlies, janitors, admin staff work for free out of the goodness of their hearts?  Do hospitals and clinics just spring up from a magic wand?  How about the powerful technology that the U.S. enjoys (anybody had a stent in lately?) 

I'm pissed off too, AprilRazz.

Actually, not-for-profit hospitals are forced to work for free all the time.  (Of course, as my hospital is Catholic, we'd do the charity work anyway...but don't tell the DUmpies.)   :-)

However, expecting our VETERANS to be covered by their private insurance instead of our government...the same government that supports millions of DumpMonkeys and the like...is clearly insane.
