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.
lets admit that it is very unrealistic...then and now...and most of us will acknowledge that....
