  • Retirees Forced Off TRICARE Prime
    New TRICARE Prime rules will force retirees to use TRICARE Standard
    According to reports, Defense officials are expected to announce soon that military retirees and their dependents living more than 40 miles from a military treatment facility or base closure site will lose access to TRICARE Prime, the military’s managed care option.

    This would force as many as 171,000 retirees to shift to TRICARE Standard, their fee-for-service insurance option, which would mean an increase in out-of-pocket costs for beneficiaries who are frequent users of health services.

    Although, active duty members and their families generally would not be impacted, drilling National Guard members and reservists living far from military bases could see small increases to health costs.

    The new TRICARE support contracts are designed to constrict Prime service areas and reduce the DoD’s cost for providing health care to military retirees.

  • Got to start saving money somewhere... I don't know the difference between TRICARE Standard and Prime though. Some of the military's retiring benefits are ridiculous though.

    As ridiculous as the healthcare benefits of politicians? Not even close, how about we start with them.

  • If it's really just a small increase NBFD, but all honorably discharged veterens should get free top notch health care for life IMO.

    That's a tough call. But if you were deployed to a war zone, yes. Including psychiatric, if you need it.

  • I like the idea of Guardsmen and Reservist getting increases in our health benefits especially since we do not earn as much as the Active Duty personnel.

    You haven't even told us what the difference is between the two health care packages are other than one is Prime and one is Standard.

    I know this sucks for some, but this is hardly the end of the world.

    Perhaps we could do all of our military personnel a giant favor and end the two wars we have been fighting for 9+ years.

    Wait really? So basically if you live 40+ miles from a military hospital you have to pay co-pay.... GMAFB. This is what this thread is about. Sorry USMCAG that Romney lost but this is a BS topic to complain about.

    F'ing co pay you're pissed off about....

    What sense does it make to have to make co payments just because you live 40+ miles away? Why should it change at all?
