What day is today oh yeah Memorial Day
Well check out how our government supports our troops.
Higher TRICARE Fees Endorsed
Week of May 28, 2007
The Pentagon-appointed Task Force on the Future of Military Health will endorse higher TRICARE fees, deductibles and co-payments for under-65 retirees and their families in an interim report to be sent to Congress May 31. It also will back other key features of the TRICARE "reform" package first proposed last year by the Department of Defense. These include:
Raising beneficiary co-payments on prescriptions filled in the TRICARE retail pharmacy network.
Indexing TRICARE fees and deductibles so that automatic annual adjustments keep them in step with rising healthcare costs.
Establishing tiers for the new TRICARE fee structure, probably based on rank at retirement, so that retirees with bigger annuities pay more for their health care coverage and retirees with smaller annuities pay less.
The above is from Military.com a good site for veteran's it keep[s you posted on how the nation you served keeps whittling away at your benefits. Yes it is not just the Native Americans the government screwed they do it to those who serve it on a consistent basis.
If you truly support our troops contact you elected representatives and tell them to quit screwing them around and remind them that you vote and if they can't support the troops you will look for representation that will.

You know the truly sad thing about this? This is being done by the leaders of our military. I noticed this in rereading the post. No doubt done at behest of the Congress. Keep whittling away on our benefits. That is a great way to keep up morale and make people want to keep reupping.
