DoD Seeks TRICARE Fee Increase - Again

Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, announced his proposed budget for fiscal year 2012. Although currently light on details, the news doesn't look so good military retirees who rely on TRICARE. According to reports, Gates has stated that he is seeking modest increases to fees for working-age military retirees who choose to use TRICARE medical programs.

Gates has con­tin­u­ously sought TRICARE fee increases for retirees as means of address­ing mil­i­tary health care costs. It appears he is deter­mined to get it done before he leaves office.

at least with a republican congress this is not likely to pass.

why is it that our seniors on medicare and retired and disabled vets have to accept cuts in benefits when others do not?

I sure would have liked to see a vote on this last October... not now after the election..
