"We heard that it is not just the retired military, but the active, as well. They will be paying a 50% premium for their health insurance and kids will not be covered. The children will be covered under schips (or whatever that acronym is).

What? CHAMPUS sucks as it is. This has to be an urban legend. I don't think Barry's this stupid - but, I could be wrong.

There is no more CHAMPUS. Active duty personnel are covered under TriCare/ I’d have to check, but I do believe the bean-counters have recommended that famiy members of active duty personnel will pay for their health care.
