After the "medical benefits for life" fiasco, this would be another blow to all service people and retirees and their families.
I don't know if it will have any affect on Tri Care for Life? When I took the oath in 1968 I thought health care was free for life. So much for that idea and we're also very concerned about the doctors that may drop being a provider. It's been proposed to reduce payments to them as well. I inquired about providers in TV for Tri Care coverage and see a limited amount of doctors (U.S. trained) locally. Any suggestions? We're still north but as soon as we sell we're heading to TV to buy.
