I don't have too much information about the details except that it seems that Tricare is refusing to pay for either this baby's surgery or for transport to the hospital where he needs to be. His father is a veteran.

We have suggested they contact Angel Flight to see if they will provide a plane.

If you have it in your heart to give, please do so. Also, if you have any suggestions as to how this family can persuade Tricare to cover more of these expenses, that would be helpful. too.

Would contacting representatives or senators in WA be helpful?

God bless.

A veteran or a military retiree? Most veterans aren’t eligible for TriCare.

Neonatal healthcare is wonderful for parents wanting to keep their babies alive who would otherwise have died and did so generations ago with the same conditions

Years ago, families paid for their medical care. I’m told I ‘cost $75’. Which was a chunk of cash back then.

These parents are asked if they’d like to pay $500G to a million for a baby- who might live a good life.

If they didn’t have a third party payer, what would they say?

MDs bring all this research in and its great, but this is getting paid for by a third party payer who is either the gov’t or an insurance company. Either our taxes pay or our premiums climb, or the other party, the employer kicks in and our hours or salaries or both go down.

It has been this way since third party came in then worsened when Medicare came in, paying for the advances no family can afford nor would ever want to deny.

Neonatal care is the cruelest.

BO simply moved in to take over a sick system acting as a parasite.

After he goes, and he will, we’ll still have this system.

Even military health care will have to cut back and be reasonable.

It is out of control.

It would be real nice to start with denying health care benefits to non qualifyiers.

This family might want to ask how many illegals had been taken care of in that area denying care to a veteran or active duty worker.

First advice stop messing with the gutted Tricare and go over their heads to the US Rep and Senators of the state.

And they can thank mclunatic for the gut of Tricare Prime and Life.
