When we went to pick up our monthly meds at the drug store there was a sign up for ALL RETIRED MILITARY ON TRICARE FOR LIFE

New Co-pay increases, the $5 stays at $5, the $12 goes to $17, the $25 goes to $44. This along with the gutting congress is doing to Military health care that has not gone through yet.

Retiree’s have not had a pension or SS raise but once in 4 years. Stinking 1.7& SS half went to Medicare so you got about $40 per month, not even a tank of gas and a gallon of milk.

Yet we are not taxing the middle class.

Add that the cost of TriCare for active & Reserve Military went up & a cut in the number of troops plus only a 1.7% increase in Base Pay is proposed.
