30. FAFO - Did this dipshit not read Project 2025?
Wed Jan 22, 2025, 11:06 PM
Jan 2025

Project 2025 would not only call for the privatization of VA Health Care, but also the Department of Defense TRICARE system for those on active duty in the military and their families. This will increase healthcare costs by forcing those with TRICARE Medical Benefits to use private health insurance providers. Privatizing TRICARE would cut more than $59 million in military health care services. Project 2025 also has Medicare and Medicaid Social Security Health Care Benefits on the privatization chopping block as well.

Oh and this gem -

Project 2025 proposes cutting benefits for disabled veterans, making it harder for them to obtain disability benefits by reducing the number of medical conditions that veterans can claim to qualify for disability status. Veterans currently eligible for a disability rating, but who have not yet filed a claim, could be denied benefits entirely, while those who have already filed claims, and been granted a disability rating, could see their VA disability benefits slashed.

Since he is a disabled veteran... his benefits could be cut... and his wife will never get her "dream job"
