Do retired military get free health insurance?
After you retire, but prior to your 65th birthday (or Medicare eligibility), you remain eligible for regular Tricare just like you had on active duty. These programs are: Tricare Prime: A health maintenance organization-type managed care program for which retirees are required to pay an annual enrollment fee.
Retired military should get insurance through tri-care same as when on active duty . Not VA healthcare .
