“…one key promise: healthcare for life.”

Oh, man. Where to even start with this

It’s not a couple years...he’s retired. That’s at least 20 years and up to 30 years.

It's for retirees only, unless you've been injured in the line of duty.

If you were injured in the line of duty, instead of disability claims going to a state, your care and compensation remain Federal.

You are not eligible for Tricare unless you serve 20 years.

A RETIRED Sergeant First Class served more than two years.

For what it's worth, my time in the military only resulted in lifetime medical, no
dental because of an accident causing a slight loss of hearing.

Leaving the military as intact as when entered did not qualify for lifetime bennies,
at least when I was in.

“Lifetime healthcare is an exorbitant level of compensation for a couple of years of service.”

That is why they don’t give it for a couple of years service.

I did 20 but choose to live overseas and pay out of pocket. The treatment is much better. Tricare and VA doctors are nothing more than pill dispensers.

Lifetime healthcare is meant for Soldiers who retire at 20+ years. Everyone in the military knows this.

[rod5591]

I served for 4 years and the VA has been doing my healthcare for last 30 years. Its not free but its not horribly expensive.

How much of your life are you willing to give for nothing except for the risk of death.
