When the government can make the rules (or even break the rules) all bets are off. Been there, done that. Just happened to me . As a veteran with the promise of healthcare for life, just got a letter from the Secretary of Defense that since I do not live close enough to a military base, my now paid for health insurance was being cancelled. So much for the government's promise, and so much for the rhetoric from most politicians. Wish I could I go back in time and not honor some of my commitments. The good faith of our governments are long past. Get ready for them doing some very drastic action. They are broke and desperate.

I hear ya scrap. You must love more than 40 miles from the nearest MTF. What a crock huh. I'm 27 away, so in a couple years, they'll probably adjust the limit and screw me too. Tricare prime premiums went up 17% last year and will continue to rise as they keep screwing us vets. Like I said, how sad that I don't trust the govt that I've given over 25 years of service too.....how sad.

Stealing stuff is the only thing government is good at. They call it "collectivism" or "redistribution" but unfortunately the crime is so endemic that what was once a situation of the government distributing the bread and keeping the crumbs for themselves has become government keeping the bread and distributing the crumbs. Something's gotta go.
