A
new report from the Congressional Budget Office shows why some military
retirees and veterans could face higher out-of-pocket costs if the
Obama administration and Congress take bold moves to reform the U.S.
health system and to make federal health programs more efficient. Among
115 "options" presented, though not endorsed, in the CBO report,
several focus on raising TRICARE out-of-pocket costs for retirees and
one for families. Others would tighten access to VA hospitals and
clinics, or raise VA health fees, for veterans with no
service-connected conditions. To learn more, read the full article on Military.com.

John Matyi has actively promoted a conservative perspective since 1968 when he registered with the Republican Party in his home state of Connecticut.
John graduated cum laude from Southern Connecticut State University with a BS in 1985, and then from Fordham University in NYC with a Masters of Social Work graduate degree (MSW) in 1986.
He served in the US Army with the infantry in Vietnam (199th Separate Light Infantry Brigade, 4th/12) where he was wounded and awarded the Purple Heart, Bronze Star ("V" device), and the Combat Infantry Badge in 1967.
John had decided to eventually move to the South while he was stationed in Georgia and Mississippi for military training. After graduating from Southern Connecticut State University he began his career with the Department of Veterans Affairs (1985). In 1986 he moved to Alabama where he continued with the VA in Birmingham (Psychiatry-Mental health Clinic).
He retired from Government service in 2004 and continues to reside in Alabaster, Alabama with his wife Dorothy of 41 years along with his German Shepherds Cheyenne and Maximus. He has two daughters and four grandchildren
Even in the conservative "Bible Belt" he found that Liberal ideas were attempting to establish a foothold and he continues to fight radical socialist ideas disguised as the platform of many "Liberal politicians."
In 2003 he began his volunteer efforts as a Grass Roots team leader to help reelect George W. Bush. Raised as a Catholic, although no longer able to be active in church services, his Christian beliefs are still very strong
