From the 1940's to the 1990's military personnel were told that if they served for 20 or more years in the military, and retired, they would receive free medical care for themselves and their eligible dependents, at military treatment facilities, for as long as they or their eligible dependents lived. This contract has been broken.

George Washington said this.....
 "The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their country."

The military retiree medical care broken promise issue,
and
the greatest swindle of all time...
a broken contract with America's military retirees.
by Floyd Sears, MSGT, USAF (retired)

The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, 99-1402, WILLIAM O. SCHISM and ROBERT REINLIE, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. UNITED STATES, Defendant-Appellee. CONCLUDED: November 18, 2002

"We cannot readily imagine more sympathetic plaintiffs than the retired officers of the World War II and Korean War era involved in this case. They served their country for at least 20 years with the understanding that when they retired they and their dependents would receive full free health care for life. The promise of such health care was made in good faith and relied upon. Again, however, because no authority existed to make such promises in the first place, and because Congress has never ratified or acquiesced to this promise, we have no alternative but to uphold the judgment against the retirees' breach-of-contract claim.

Federal judges have a duty to uphold the Constitution and the laws, even if that means making unpleasant or unpopular decisions. Congress, on the other hand, has the power to make law, not simply to interpret and apply it. As our predecessor court said:

Congress has the power and authority under the Constitution to establish a system for the payment of retired pay [for military service members] and to change the system from time to time. . . . We understand and appreciate the dissatisfaction of the plaintiffs with the change in the retirement pay system, as they have rendered long and faithful service to our country in time of peace and war. However, if they are to get any relief, it must come from Congress, as this is not within [a court's] jurisdiction.

Abbott v. United States, 200 Ct. Cl. 384, 390 (1973). Perhaps Congress will consider using its legal power to address the moral claims raised by Schism and Reinlie on their own behalf, and indirectly for other affected retirees."

- end of the court's conclusion -

The military hierarchy, an agent of the United States Government, authorized the making of the health care promise to encourage the trained and experienced military personnel to remain in the military.

America's military retirees had an understanding with the United States Government. We had a promise of free health care for life after retirement. However, the government contends, and the court has ruled, that "no authority existed to make such promises in the first place".

Focus on these words taken from the court's conclusion: "They served their country for at least 20 years with the understanding that when they retired they and their dependents would receive full free health care for life. The promise of such health care was made in good faith and relied upon."

Since the court has ruled that "no authority existed to make such promises in the first place", yet the promise was made, then we have a case of deliberate deception for unfair or unlawful gain, we have a fraud, and we have...
