LTRS, when i jouned the military i was promosed lifetime medical and dental benefits.i stayed in the military for over 20 years as i liked my job and the eople around me. the benefits promosed me were not delivered as i have to pay for mine and my wife's medical and dental. now with no union to assist me and the promosees{sp} given to me by the goverment not being kept, what am i to do? Strike- illegal, see my congress person,nah he made the rules,so what do you do? by the way military health care is projected to be about $50 billion in the next few years. i pay now and will pay more later.why, i was promosed things by my own goverment that they now cannot keep. please recomend a course of action for me and others in the same boat who did as they were asked but now are getting the short end of the stick.
