Bush Budget Raises Drug Prices for Many Veterans
By ROBERT PEAR and CARL HULSE

Published: February 7, 2005



WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 - President Bush's budget would more than double the co-payment charged to many veterans for prescription drugs and would require some to pay a new fee of $250 a year for the privilege of using government health care, administration officials said Sunday

1. Don't blame me. I voted for Gore then Kerry.

It's not my fault the chimp had his cronies steal the elections for him.

[Fire Bush]

2. Good.

The only way we're ever going to see any change in this country is for this admin to get exactly what they want. * said his positions were clear and concise. I agree. Everyone could see this coming.

3. Right wing apologists say "Gee, it's only another seven dollars."

Tell them to multiply this by at least ten and then subtract it from and enlisted vet's pension or social security.

Healthy, stupid young males think they're always going to be young and healthy, so they stay stupid. They don't make them any smarter, no matter how long I wait for it.

Smarter ones know they may be lucky enough to get older, and in that case, they'll have multiple prescriptions to fill if they want to stay alive and in good shape.

That doubling of copays hits those least able to pay the hardest.

These are the guys who put their butts on the line for us. There should be NO copay.

4. pay with what? reduced social security.

These men gave everything for us in every war. The government makes all these promises only to break them. We need to increase benefits to them. Costs continue to go up while care goes down. When will it end?
