As I said, I have the VA, I am 30 percent Service Connected Disabled. Turning wrenches and such on airplanes at sea took it’s toll. And being retired from the Navy, I have Tricare as my insurance provider. In the 16 years since I ended my Naval Career, it has been the one that I use. The only time I had a civilian plan was when I was at Bombardier Learjet for 6 years. They had an excellent plan. Most places I have worked have not had any coverage or it was not worth the money being spent. One did have a decent vision and dental plan, so I did enroll in it. My last aircraft company had a plan that was almost a match for Tricare, with deductibles and copays very close but it was not cost effective. The dental and vision were pretty good.
This being said, Tricare is actually administered by an outside company. My wife is covered under this. The VA only takes care of the Veteran and if it isn’t service connected related care, they hit you with charges. the prescription copay is 8 bucks. Tricare’s is 3 bucks, for a 30 day supply.
Where I get ticked off is the thought process from Washington that I owe anyone else anything at all. That being through the higher taxes that the Idiot Locker known as the congress will levy to cover the healtcare of others.
I paid for mine already, with 20 years of service to the Republic. I don’t want to pay for some has been hippie to go the doctor because he couldn’t take care of himself. I hope you get the point.
BTW, will be starting a new job in September, as a DOD Civilian at an Air Force Base in California. The mssus and I will do the checking to decide whether to take the full package or not. If it is really good, yes. If not, we will stick with Tricare and get the vision and dental separately.
Word has it that the obambozo and crew would love to get rid of Tricare, because it takes care of those they despise.
Any thoughts?
