Question

People who work for the auto industry get blue cross , and blue shield while our vetereans have to wait for months up to a year just to get an initial appointment. How come our troops can have the best like blue cross and blue shield.

Answer 1

Because once you join, you become "Government Issue" and the government owns you! Besides....there is no UNION in the armed services.....despite being owned by the UNION (US of A)!!

Answer 2

Auto industry is a profit oriented business, the Military is not.

Better question: Why do members of Congress get better health care and retirement than members of the military. Easy answer, because they are able to vote for it... usually they do so in the middle of the night... coming out in the dark to feed, like cockroaches.

Answer 3

The "troops" part of the question is inaccurate, because active duty military get some of the best medical care available in the world.

Retirees benefits are getting cut across the board, both private and public sectors. And last time I checked, HMOs weren't exactly the best health care in the world.

Answer 4

Because the heads of the auto industries care more about their workers than or government does about our troops.

Answer 5

i'm not trying to offend anyone but the answer is that

the auto workers have a union, and the ability/right to walk off the job.

Answer 6

Because it's called BRIBERY. In my opinion, you have to "bribe" someone to work in those conditions. Whereas, more soldiers volunteer to do their job than an auto worker would. Make sense?

Answer 7

Unions.

Answer 8

Because the government doesn't really give a rats *** about the troops.

Answer 9

Isn't the auto perks paid for by the employers...

Answer 10

Because there are more people who want cars than war
