What makes you mad?

I told a podiatrist office today that I was retired military on Medicare and Tricare for Life...

They refused the insurance, both of them.

What is happening in America?  The insurance of MEDICARE (after 65 years of age) was mandated after the failure of our government to keep their promise to those who served in the military for 20 years or more to provide FREE MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE for the rest of our lives.  Instead, they gave us MEDICARE (which we pay monthly premiums on) and TRICARE FOR LIFE (where the insurance is now up for grabs--again, grabbing at our thin wallets and worn nerves).

I think that any American company or American medical group who refuses to honor the military's meager insurance should be abolished from doing business in America.  The same to those American companies who 'create jobs' by first OUTSOURCING those jobs to foreign countries and still get to claim bonuses for CREATING jobs!!!  Jobs that are lost to Americans (such as HILTON--Blackstone) closing call centers in Hemet, California in 2010 and 'laying off' 350 Americans there, transferring only a handful who could afford to make the move to their call centers in Dallas, Texas and in Tampa, Florida.

These losses (medical insurance for retired military, in effect, at least for me, in Dallas, Texas) and those who could not afford to make the move to keep their jobs.

It's a damnable, criminal, biased and unethical way to treat Americans who do their job!!!!!
