More Affordable Health Care! (Except for the Military): While President Barack Obama is celebrating the survival of his so-called "Affordable Care Act," he is busy making health care less affordable for the nation's military families. As the Washington Free Beacon reports, the President is threatening to veto a defense appropriations bill unless military families have to pay higher fees for TRICARE, the military's health insurance program. The Obama administration ostensibly wants to help the Pentagon save money; the real motive is to make TRICARE less attractive than costlier Obamacare exchanges.
The Free Beacon notes that the bill that passed the House of Representatives, with bipartisan support, refused to incorporate the President's request for higher TRICARE fees--and the administration has expressed displeasure.
