Requires military retirees to pay more for private health care coverage and limits TRICARE Prime to active duty soldiers and dependents.

Oh, that's nice.

I used to say here on FR that all the people who cheer on the military would throw the same military under the bus if it came to brass tax - meaning "their" Social Security and Medicare vs. our veterans.

I was right.

All the rhetoric about "support our troops" rings hollow. If you served in 3 wars, like I did - it means nothing when politics rears it's ugly head. The GOP is not really touching SS or Medicare at all for current recipients - the proposed "cuts" are laughable. But, the cuts to TRICARE and military vets are real.

Funny how that all turned out.

Dude, lighten up. He’s not talking about vets he’s talking about the numerous non-military (ab)users of TRICARE Prime.

Disabled service members receive medical care from the Veterans Administration. I rate the VA as good or better than TRICARE. I’m a Line-of-Duty disable vet btw.

There’s nothing wrong with limiting TRICARE Prime to active duty and dependents.

You wouldn’t believe all the fed. civilians and dependents sucking on that teat now.

You are free to come up with your own method of cutting government by 25%.

I can only tell you this much: Reducing Government by 25% is the MINIMUM amount of cutting required to get it done.
