I realize that Tricare is not a big topic subject on FR, but this is a good example of how Obamacare will eventually handle the rise in cost.

That’s a lot of facts you put together. I have noticed the same thing here in Grand Rapids. I have taken to calling it Obamacare to the liberals I know. They all think the program is lousy and I keep telling them their turn is coming.

Obamacare is government limiting our freedom of choice.

Government is too big already, this expansion of government , this takeover of healthcare is tyranny.

Government is the problem and it has grown at all levels every single year, every month for the last 100 years.

They is tracking our kids in schools with smart IDs, Moochel is telling kids what they can eat, Bloomberg banned big sodas in New York, Obama took over our healthcare, They banned 100 watt light-bulbs , they tell us that we have to discriminate to hire people (affirmative action), soon cars will have to be 27 mpg , etc. This crap has to stop.

I started to write a first draft on how to finally limit government for the first time ever. something has to be done as the problem is government. It's in personal page here.

I did not read your post...just too long.
I was never in the military, so I guess it does not apply to me anyway. It must be some vet thing.

That being said, I have PhilHealth which does not pay so much, but it is very cheap and it will get you into a hospital.
It did pay a fair amount on the birth of my son, 18 months ago....I am satisfied with it.

I have no intentions of ever returning to the USSA.

Thank you for the post, this is a very important topic to me, and I suspect there are many active duty and retired military here on FR, as well as Vets who use VA healthcare will be greatly impacted by obamacare.

I’ve heard there are many changes coming to Tricare due to the implementation of obamacare...none of the changes are good, basically we will be paying much, much, more for a great deal less.

I still take Tricare patients, probably out of some financially suicidal moral/patriotic weakness. It’s probably not going to be an option much longer.

The simple truth for patients is this: if you let someone else pay for your healthcare, they will want to control it. And a reading of Ms. Sebelius’ writings will also make it clear that they mean to control every other aspect of your life, and “The Environment” as well - all “for the sake of your health”.

Obamacare is a reality and until the GOP is able to win 60 seats in the Senate, retain the house and get the presidency nothing will change that fact. I don't see that happening in my lifetime...

Service members, vets and others caring for the defense of our country and the welfare of our troops need to put pressure on Congress to exempt TRIUCARE from the Affordable Health Care Act

“”4.9 Since provider participation in this demonstration is voluntary, there may be situations where the TOP contractor is unable to recruit a sufficient number and mix of approved providers in all specialties in designated demonstration areas. “

I wonder why providers will not be flocking to join this? Could it be low reimbursement and the threat of fines and prison from rapacious regulators?

Maybe they will make participation mandatory for physicians. I’m sure that doctors will perform well with a gun to their heads.
