You can thank Scot Brown, he mentioned it, and as my hubby is retired Senior Chief on TFL my ears perked up. I thought at first it was part of obamadeathcare, but it is in a already passed DOD bill. There will be increases to the co-pays for RX's if some of the stuff I've seen is correct. All we know at this point in time it is on hold because Vet groups got loud about it and got it delayed until 2011 hoping to get it repealed altogether. Of course bambi is promising not to let it go into effect....If you believe that I've some prime ocean front property in the Saudi Desert to sell you.

This is breaking yet another promise to our Military. Fees are taxes, and obambi promised not to raise taxes on those of us making under $250G...well as 2 old qeezers we don't even make a fourth of that, with hubby's retirement and our SS combined.

The bill might have originated under GW when the dems had control of both houses, as part of CBO recommendations to control cost.

I'm not sure if it affects more than TFL, because there is also Tricare Prime. BOTH TFL and Medicare are admined out of the same agency.
