I was in the Navy SWCC program for 5 years, I'm no stranger to the military my friend.
The president has his own hospital, doctor and surgeon, so that point is basically moot, capitol hill has it's own medical center, and many congressional members have their own physicians.
The military's medical program is not free, in the traditional sense, that's true, however, how much do you think he or she pays for surgery, or medication, or an organ transplant? I guarantee you it's not the 60,000 dollars a civilian would pay.. it's, well.. nothing. Granted, at least in my experience, the care itself was, somewhat.... substandard, but I can't really complain.
The government is in the business of making laws and looking out for the interests of it's people(In a perfect world), and for the most part, they do. That's the reason everyone here and the majority of the people in your neighborhood are educated, clothed, employed, safe, etc. Now I realize that it's not the case for many many people, and that's unfortunate, but both fortunate and unfortunate people need to help themselves past a certain point.
Look, as I said, I'm not an advocate of everything the government does, but in my experience, I am grateful for what I have and the opportunities I've been given. This is a great country to live in, regardless of how what the media portrays every day or the problems we face. Here, just like everywhere else on earth, certain people, (i.e. the wealthy or powerful) are more advantageous than others. You wanna go do something about it? Go try. I almost guarantee you won't succeed. You can spend your time bitching and complaining that "it's not fair" if you want to. In other countries, doing so would result in death by firing squad, so go figure.
