It’s still the best deal in town. Reduced my family deductible from over $900 to under $200.
Colonel, USAFR
notice how they ain’t saying anything about cutting entitlements? welfare seems to eb exempt from teh realiuty fo the situation, despite it’s being one of the main causes thereof
If they force private sector employers to reimburse the costs to the gov’t because a retiree they’ve hired chooses TriCare vs. the employers plan, you’ll see less vets being hired.
I wonder how this will affect retirees. If the employers are dropping coverage or raising premiums as a result of 0care, and a vet has chosen the company plan, can they get back on to TriCare or are they permanenly screwed?
And it ain’t no damn “subsidy”. We vets made a horse trade in the beginning with the gov’t. You [the gov’t] get to use and abuse our bodies for 20 years, then you get to take care of us afterwards.
They knew this day was coming and made no plans to prepare for it. Now they want to back out of the deal entirely.
I have a bad feeling that between this and the talk of eliminating the mortgage interest deduction I’m going to soon be very screwed.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
"All Tricare beneficiaries including family members of active-duty troops would face a co-payment for office visits, to reduce their “higher than average usage of health care.”
I see a lot of RIF in the near future and if this keeps up, very few being interested in joining any branch.....
