If I didn't know better, I'd think that President Obama was lobbying for my prize. (Realistically, I doubt he knows of its existence...)
We all knew that the new budget proposed by the Obama Administration would cut defense spending. What they weren't publicizing is the fact that they were going to make those cuts in military healthcare. The plan is ton increase to cost of care paid by active duty service-members, their dependents, and retirees - to include those medically retired after having been wounded in action. Those remaining unaffected by the increase in premiums? Unionized civilian defense workers.
The moral of this story? If you manage to nab a federal government union job, your healthcare will be paid for. If you give your time, your arm, your leg, or your life for your country, you will then be asked to pay for the injuries you sustained in the defense of your country because they're too busy buying boob jobs and birth control for bureaucrats to be concerned over your missing limbs.
