Ask:
Maybe those of you who already have Tricare know about this, but I thought I'd post it anyways.
The Pentagon-appointed Task Force on the Future of Military Health will endorse higher TRICARE fees, deductibles and co-payments for under-65 retirees and their families in an interim report to be sent to Congress May 31. It also will back other key features of the TRICARE "reform" package first proposed last year by the Department of Defense. These include:
Raising beneficiary co-payments on prescriptions filled in the TRICARE retail pharmacy network.
Indexing TRICARE fees and deductibles so that automatic annual adjustments keep them in step with rising healthcare costs.
Establishing tiers for the new TRICARE fee structure, probably based on rank at retirement, so that retirees with bigger annuities pay more for their health care coverage and retirees with smaller annuities pay less.
Answer:
That's just wrong..I know it's happening everywhere, including private industry, but aren't military families giving enough? Are they going to get paid extra to compensate for this? I'm sure not. The rich get richer, the fat get fatter.....
Answer:
It's an abomination.
I grew up in the 60's with military medical care it wasn't the fanciest but it was covered.
Now the military families who some need food stamps to make it every month have to deal with this.
