Broken Promises of Health Care
Sent in by Veterans News and Information Services

From: Mark Olanoff

Although the promise of healthcare has not been realized, there is legislation that has been proposed by Rep. Emerson (R-MO) to provide a refundable tax credit for military retirees who are currently paying Part B of Medicare. The bill number is H.R. 121. Currently this bill has 7 co-sponsors.

Although this bill will not restore our healthcare benefits, it will provide real dollars to people who need it.

I urge all military retirees, family members, veterans and survivors of military retirees to contact their U.S. House of Representative member and ask to co-sponsor, H.R. 121 as a downpayment to our retirees who were promised healthcare for a career of service.
