From The Mailbag

Obama wanted to charge the military for their injuries in combat by charging private insurance whose premiums are paid by military personnel for treatment for their war injuries. Obama's OBM felt the costs of treating war injuries is too much of a burden for the government to pay if they can escape the responsibility. The annual cost to treat the war injuries of servicemen is $4.3 billion. Obama doesn't have a problem letting the taxpayers pay the $59 billion for the healthcare of RETIRED government employees who do nothing for nobody. Outrage and pressure from every service-related advocacy group made Obama back-pedal and remove this provision from the 2009 Omnibus Budget Bill.
