5-Day NDAA Campaign, Day 5, Stop TRICARE Co-payment Increases

Service members went from documented promises of free, lifetime healthcare, to CHAMPUS, to a switch to TRICARE to reduce healthcare spending, to a pledge by DoD to eventually provide TRICARE Prime coverage nationwide, to the abandonment of that promise, to instituting annual increases in the cost of care for military family members, retirees, their family members, and survivors. And now, in support of Administration proposals, the Senate has called for TRICARE Pharmacy co-pay increases for the third time in four years along with nine years of further programmed increases. We believe these callous actions have already and will continue to harm morale and the future of the All-Volunteer Force.

It is time for us to send a strong message to Congress that "Enough is Enough." In recent times, military members, their families, retirees, and survivors have, in effect, received one "pay cut" after another as their benefit package has shrunk or they have been made to pay more. We urge you to immediately communicate with your elected officials and urge them to reject the Senate's TRICARE prescription co-payment increases.

Take Action on Increases to TRICARE Co-Payments
