sorry, this is the link I was referring to:

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

Says the page has gone AWOL. But I've read it. It's only blocked until 2011 and then goes into effect. We have a year to get it repealed. It's not fair or right to treat our retired Military like this. They'll need a third insurance to cover what TFL and Medicare will no longer cover.

We had our 6 month check ups (because of the meds we take) and a new sign was up in our doc's office, that IF Medicare was your only health ins, then you had to pay the difference UP FRONT before the doctor's visit. I can't blame the doctor, the re-imbursment barely covers his overhead cost. And they are talking about dropping it from 80% to 60%.

It’s an outrage!! I found same article on Navy Times, and printed it out to send to my dad, retired Air Force, Vietnam Vet. I imagine he will be helping to get the word out too. Thank you!

Can you send me the link in the Navy Times?

[Ros42]

Sure, here it is:

Same article that was in the Army Times...don't know why google didn't dig it up when it dug up the Army Times one.

Thanks I've bookmarked it. Looks like Vets are raising H over it even the demwit underground website had post on it.

It came up under a Bing search. :)
