It’s a mystery to me too.
ADD: According to this, Vets don’t have to worry about coverage.
https://www.va.gov/health/aca/
The Affordable Care Act, also known as the health care law, was created to expand access to coverage, control health care costs and improve health care quality and care coordination. The health care law does not change VA health benefits or Veterans’ out-of-pocket costs.
What you should know:
VA wants all Veterans to receive health care that improves their health and well-being.
If you are enrolled in VA health care, you don’t need to take additional steps to meet the health care law coverage standards. The health care law does not change VA health benefits or Veterans’ out-of-pocket costs.
If you are not enrolled in VA health care, you can apply at any time.
I guess that if a vet is not enrolled in VA health care, they can enroll in ACA instead.

Extremely happy we do not have Madame President Clinton. She is a threat to peace with her saber rattling at Russia.
Extremely happy with Trump’s cabinet choices and his nomination for the Supreme Court.
Extremely happy with his platform. A crackdown at long, long last on uncontrolled illegal immigration.
His America First, big brakes on unexamined globalization.
His naturally pro-business stance,since he’s a businessman.
His crackdown on unmonitored bureaucrats.
His massive pullback on kudzu regulations and the Delete Two When You Add One rule on Federal regulations.
Over the moon about his crackdown on these outrageous “Sanctuary Cities” and the promise to cut federal funding to all these mayors and the governor of California who flaunt national immigration laws which are the constitutional purview of the federal government.
Our central government has been totally out of control.
Governments of the Leftist run states are totally out of control.
No, I am not scared.
Our articulate, Harvard educated, handsome and charming president, who I will always like as a national figure and for his excellent rhetoric, got us into the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, the Berlin Missile Crisis, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. All within his first 22 months in office.
He created the Bay of Pigs disaster within his first three months.
So, I’m afraid a silver tongues does not guarantee superbly competent government. Not does it guarantee peaceful nights of sleep.

She’s going to soon be driving something. She is a squirmy little toot, rolls around in your arms and when you change her diaper.

She doesn’t like poopy diapers either, starts crying before she’s finished.
Other than that though she never cries and she already has a different cry for each one.

twice the size of Oroville, I think.fifty percent larger than Oroville.LikeLiked by 1 person
We are fine, Col, thank you for asking. Daughter in Davis might be another story, depending on how far down the water goes and how strong the levee system is. AND there is another big storm predicted for later in the week.
Oroville Dam is an earthen dam. Experts have said that, due to the last few years of drought, even a gopher hole could have weakened it.
