I think Obama’s plan is to end Tricare and move everyone into Obamacare. This is just part of his planned gradual phaseout.
I will not be surprised to see the administration want all veterans to be in the VA hospital system and under VA managed care. More likely the DHS would like to use the VA hospital system as a model for a future government health system for the country. As such Could the DHS eventually be given the VA hospitals outright to “streamline and make efficient” veteran’s healthcare?
Holy crap! I might have something here.
You are correct on that. His long rang plan also includes bankrupting private hospitalization companies and establishing Federal Hospitalization insuance corporations like the post office and AMTrak. That is why AARP has been kissing his ass so much. They hope to be one of the corporations.
I think you are correct. I remember articles stating they would raise premiums on our active service people, then offer very low costs to exit Tricare and join Obamacare. It will seem only logical to go with the much lower rates for Ocare—then those rates will go up dramatically after a couple of years. I warned my loved ones not to change even though it will seem like the “prudent” thing to do.
