Audacity of Truth
Kruggie to Fibbs:
"Rudeness at the proper moment can serve a purpose — as I hope I’ve demonstrated over the years. But if you vent for the sake of venting; if you alienate people you’re going to need; then you’re just being stupid."

Probably, what passed for thinking here was that if you have non-government health insurance it should pay for everything.
Which is pure fantasy. Not only are at least some of those policies less expensive because the insurers knew some things would be paid by military insurance, but most policies exclude a host of “pre-existing” conditions – regardless of origin.
As with the proposal to tax an employer’s contribution to insurance as an individual’s income – blasted during the 2008 campaigns but now OK, especially as McCain’s “but offset with a deduction” has been dropped – this is probably a step on the road to government-only health care as done in the UK, rather than government-plus-private as in France.
