Forcing a private company (private insurance) to cover the treatment of military veterans?
When will Obama decide that the energy crises is so bad that we will not be allowed to drive cross country without a 'special permit"? Think I'm kidding? There is no fundamental difference between the Government telling private industry what they will do and telling you what you will do! I'm afraid you are correct - Socialism is no longer around the corner, it's here!

The Obama administration recently revealed a plan to require private insurance carriers to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in such cases. "It became apparent during our discussion today that the President intends to move forward with this unreasonable plan," said Commander David K. Rehbein of The American Legion. "He says he is looking to generate $540-million by this method, but refused to hear arguments about the moral and government-avowed obligations that would be compromised by it."
