NAUS (National Association for Uniformed Services) Legislative Director recently published the following article regarding a proposal to increase TRICARE fees.
The Pentagon has proposed a series of TRICARE fee increases, outlined in the President’s fiscal year 2017 budget. Congress has these measures under review.
In summary, the DoD proposal would require all retired service members, except those currently in TRICARE for Life, to pay an annual enrollment fee to participate in TRICARE. Without payment of the “participation” fee, access to TRICARE would be forfeit until the next open season.
NAUS believes Congress should reject the Pentagon plan. If you feel this is something you wish to speak up against, please use the attached link below to urge your Representatives and Senators to do the right thing.
