---The final bill would leave it up to a bureaucrat at the Department of the Treasury to determine whether TRICARE meets the minimum standards under the Democrats’ individual health insurance mandate. If that bureaucrat decides against TRICARE, service members and their families would have to buy some other health coverage or pay a penalty.--

Republican leaders ought to HAMMER this fact home TODAY - call and fax the dems on the fence about NOT covering our military!

The final bill would leave it up to a bureaucrat at the Department of the Treasury to determine whether TRICARE meets the minimum standards under the Democrats’ individual health insurance mandate.

I'll be curious to see how Tricare wouldn't meet minimum standards. For active duty military and their families, health care (with the exception of dental) is virtually free, costing the service member only gas to visit a doctor.
