摘要

Supporters of legislation to re-store free lifetime health care to older generations of military retirees, by exempting them from paying Medicare Part B premiums, are raising Congressional awareness of their cause with thousands of letters to Capitol Hill written on brown paper bags. the "Brown-Bag Project" is the brainchild of retiree Thomas Gould. He suggested it to retiree health care crusader Floyd Sears who presented it to the Class Act Group, headed by retired Air Force Col. George E. "Bud" Day, a lawyer and Medal of Honor recipient. Day has fought in the courts and in the halls of Congress to restore free lifetime health care to retirees who first entered service on or before Dec. 7, 1956, the date Public Law 569 took effect, limiting retiree access to health care in military facilities. The Keep Our Promise to America's Military Retirees Act, if passed by the 109th Congress, would, among other things, waive Medicare Part B premiums to retirees who first entered service before lawmakers made free retiree health care conditional, based on the space available in military treatment facilities.
