What a relief

From the Tacoma News Tribune:
Reform bill will not hurt TRICARE, White House says
Not like it could get any worse; as Mrs. Drang and Chuck say, anyone who thinks the Government should be involved in health care, should spend a year with CHAMPUS/Tricare. (Tricare being the HMO that dependents and retirees are enrolled in, and CHAMPUS--"Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services"--being it's old, pre-Hillary-care name.)(What?  You thought Hillary-care died?  Ha!)

(Mrs. Drang was definitely saying it before GBR-IV; Chuck probably was, too, although I suppose he might have gotten it from her...)

heh,

My wife spent a decade doing insurance billing for everything from one provider practices to a whole medical center.

Bet you didn't know that Tricare/Champus qualifies as a "Cadillac Plan" for extra taxes under most of the current "reform" packages in the legislature....

Funny, but it seems more like a Yugo than a Caddy...
