Joe Wilson's Free Health Care

Joe Wilson's Free Health Care

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) isn’t just a buffoon: He’s also a hypocrite. His Web site says he “is passionate about stopping government-run health care,” but Wilson himself receives government-run health care. As a retired Army National Guard colonel with four sons in the military, he and his family enjoy free military Medicare coverage, known as Tricare. Tricare is a single-payer system and covers 9.5 million people. Though Wilson enjoys Tricare, he has voted 11 times against health care for veterans in eight years.

I'm convinced Joe Wilson and HH6 are the same person.

All these repube politicians and military personnel are complete hypocrites. And they don't want others to have the health care that they themselves receive on the taxpayer's dime. It would be hilarious if it weren't so outrageous.

Look, the two biggest douchbags on the board, jerking each other off. One won't defend his posts with coherent agruments and the other pretended to defend his country.

Why are you shooting the messenger, when the message is still valid?

The reality is that Joe Wilson does in fact (similarly to yourself) have tax payer funded healthcare.

That's not true.  Joe Wilson, like HH6, works for his healthcare.  No job, no coverage.

Do your taxes pay for it or not Beach?

I didn't say it was "free" nor did I say it was "invalid", nor even that it was wrong. I didn't say he didn't work for it.

I simply said it was taxpayer funded... Which is 100 percent true.

[headhuntersix]

Funny...they don't see the link. Work...healthcare...no worky no healthcare. Had Mons actually served he would understand this. He would not have to cut and paste articles on Tricare...he would easily be able to articulate the pros and cons of that system and how it works. Just post ur 214 douchbag...black out the name and address/phone numbers if applicable and after I go through it line by line, we can drop the stolen honor thing.

Wilson also has his Congressional plan which trumps Tricare, I have no idea how that works for them. I'm sure if his 4 sons have been in for a bit they've deployed and more then earned their coverage. We all pay taxes for that coverage.

That's ridiculous... It's either paid by taxpayers or it's not. Either it's run by the government or it's not.

Why are you guys so in love with your insurance companies? They don't actually help you... They are a pay source... nothing more.

The insurance company will drop you the first chance it can.

I guess I don't get your point. See my previous post about government run and paid by the taxpayer.

As do the millions of federal employees who work for the govt.  It is part of the pay package they are contracted for.  

How stupid are you people?

Wow.. Now we're stupid?

I'm pragmatic and we see things for what they are. It's pretty simple.

You can't bitch about government run healthcare when you RECEIVE government run healthcare. It's very simple, but you can't seem to get it through your thick skull apparently.

Mine can't drop me.....once I retire I'll pay a premium but thats about it. I can stay with Tricare or go straight VA. I don't have a problem. I worked my ass off in school to get Commisioned with the branch I wanted and continue to work hard to ensure that I stay in and have access to care...no different then anybody else who has put themselves...through hard work...to get well paid, to include healthcare.

That's my point! You just said it... They CAN'T drop you... and what makes you so special?

I can get dropped and I've worked every bit as hard as you if not harder... So why do you think you deserve better health insurance than I do?

I pay for myself every month.  I dont get free anything.  I also dont want or expect you to pay for me either. 

The govt is the major factor in the increases of the price and inflation in health care and you and others think that the culprit is going to be the cure???

WTF planet are you living on?  The govt always makes a problem worse not better.  Health care is no different.

My taxes pay for everything the federal government does.  My taxes also pay for everything my state and local governments do.  My tax dollars fund the salaries of all everyone who works for the local, state, and federal governments.  So, from that standpoint, you are correct that my tax dollars fund the benefits those workers received.  But the distinction between that and what some of the trolls argue is they actually work for healthcare benefits.  It's asinine to compare someone who works for employment benefits, especially someone who risks his or life for those benefits, to the government giving benefits to people with no work element.  Not saying you're doing that, but that's the context of this thread.    

[Soul Crusher]

BINGO !!!

Because we do not live in a socialist state.  Some people get better stuff, thats life, deal with it.
