Just a couple years ago Nanci Pelosi made the famous statement regarding Obamacare, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” Well, we have been finding out more and more about it, and America doesn’t like it. Now President Obama has been attempting to cut the budget, so he’s gone at the pentagon and military with a chainsaw. As part of the $487 billion cut in Pentagon spending, Obama is proposing that military families and retirees pay dramatically more for their healthcare. This proposed increase of payment for their healthcare isn’t a practical or modest increase like what the governors across the country have done to balance their state budgets. The proposal calls for 30 percent to 78 percent increase in annual premiums for the first year. After the first year of increases, the plan will put in place more increases over a five-year period that range from 94 percent to 345 percent. If a Active military family is paying $460 a year right now, then after the plans are in place that family would pay $2048 a year.
