When I decided to make the Air Force a career it was based on love for country and a promise made to me that on retirement I would receive free medical and dental care for life. One must realize that being in the military subjects a person to whatever risks are in store with each new assignment(there is no choice to refuse an assignment because your life may be put at risk, that you may be separated from your family, or any other inconvenience that comes with each new assignment). When the bell tolls you respond with no questions asked!! For my promise of "free" medical care for life both my wife and I must "each" pay over $100.00 per month for Medicare at the present time and the rates per month are scheduled to go up substantially each year. Additionally, I must pay any charges that are above what Medicare and Tri Care provide. With all this said, it is next to impossible to find doctors who will even accept a patient
whose method of payment is based on Medicare and Tri Care. Needless to say I have no respect for the politicians who sit in Washington and take away benefits I was promised while most of them have never served their "country" yet their health care benefits seem to never come under scrutiny. What is even more "disgusting" and "shameful" is that we have a President who has never served in the military and who thinks that he has the right to "apoligize" for "we the people" of the United States. To say the least it is "sickening". In closing, one of the "first" things he did as President that I thought showed his "true colors" was to return the stature of Winston Churchill to England. That stature was not his and he had no right to return something that was given to the United States It was "revealing" at that moment that he considered himself "KING" and "could and would" do anything he so desired. It is beyond my wildest imagination why we do not have anyone with the courage and -alls to reign in the devastation he has brought(and continues to bring to our great "NATION". Enough said!!!!
