Universal Health Care and the military?

That is a good point..and it hasn't been addressed. At this point, Universal Health Care is the US, no matter what is said during campain season, is at least a decade from happening and that is only after both parties could agree on what that plan should be. And you need to understand that universal health care will not mean equal health care...people can still use private providers if they choose not to use the ones involved in the government program. If it did happen, my gut says the military would offer to supplement the plan to allow wider choice of providers outside the federal programs or the pay levels would go up to make up for the fact they no longer had to provide the health care. In any case, I would not worry about it just yet.
