What does this tweak do? Because I am a retired vet and the GOP House totally fucked up our healthcare insurance (Tricare), and Tricare is completely unrelated to ObamaCare.

This is a 15 minute vote:

Is this the failed Hire More Vets bill from last year? The one where small businesses can hire vets and not call them full time employees so they can't get Obamacare?

How sad...

Encourages the hiring of vets by exempting them from the employee count that triggers the employer mandate to provide insurance.

I think there's another bill that finally made it to the floor, that would prevent animal rights groups and pharmaceutical companies from first trying new drugs on Vietnam Veterans before they try them on the rats.

I suggest you read the fine print in this "hire the hero" legislation.

Its lipstick on a pig. The Rs are really screwing over the vets.

Are you a mexican vet?? My american tricare didn't change.

I am on Tricare Prime. Every retired vet in my state was kicked off Tricare Prime in October 2013, whereupon my family's medical bills literally went up by a factor of 10 because of a permanent catastrophic illness in my family.

This was the work of Paul Ryan.

I then jumped through a lot of bureacratic hoops to get re-enrolled in Prime.

Then in October 2014, I was informed I had to change my PCM to one that is over 100 miles away. The Tricare insurance rep had the unbelievable balls to say to me "nothing has changed". I just have to travel 100 miles to see my new PCM now. What a fucking asshole!

There was also a $300,000 surgery in my family this past year and Tricare is doing its level best to fuck me over it. They did this in 2008, too, and I had to get my Congressman and both US Senators to kick them in the nuts.

That's why the legislation was passed 412-0, right? Because there are 412 Republicans and no Democrats in the House.

That's not the whole story. See next post.

House bill Firms could skirt health law by hiring vets - KTVN Channel 2 - Reno Tahoe News Weather Video -

So here is the tweak:

The House bill, sponsored by Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., would exempt from that threshold veterans who already get health care from the Veterans Affairs Department or the military.

So if a hiree is already covered by health care from the VA or Tricare, they don't count toward the 50 employee threshold.

Someone please explain how this "screws over vets". It doesn't. It actually increases their chances of getting a job at a small employer!

It certainly isn't screwing them out of hours or insurance as the dipshits are claiming.

That was the Defense Health Agency, not Paul Ryan.

The DHA follows the rules it is given, and those rules are written by Congress. And Paul Ryan has been changing those rules for a while.

Congress regulates Tricare the same way it regulates Medicare and Medicaid and every other government health insurance plan.
