Those with tricare for life.....

that currently have the retiree dental program, that goes away Dec 31, 2018. During the enrollment period from Nov 12-Dec 10, you have to choose one of the 10 plans offered. I only mention it b/c I almost threw away the post card as junk mail that detailed the above.

“Together we’re going to deliver real change that once again puts Americans first. That begins with immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as *****care … You’re going to have such great health care, at a tiny fraction of the cost—and it’s going to be so easy.”

And we also have the Brooklyn Bridge we're offering for sale at a bargain price.

Still waiting for this piece of fiction to appear, just like how I’m not paying for that wall.

Basically until the elected elite (and that’s both parties) are dealing with the same healthcare choices and premiums as the rest of us they really don’t give a damn other than what gets them re re elected.

All I know is that there will be 10 choices for the dental which will include eye care. I currently pay $32.25/month for dental.

This has nothing to do with Tricare for Life Medical, as some here may be implying, at least not currently.

Can you prove that, or is it just speculation ???????????????

Kind of getting used to this response: "I didn't do it but if I did, you can't prove it and if you can prove it, it's not a crime." Really fits your MO. As for you, a month ago I looked at your entire posting history and there was not one post about the Spyder in at least the last couple of years. Nothing but politics and off-topic stuff, usually insulting somebody. So more likely than not you did delete something but instead of just being honest you'd rather play little games ... just like a major political figure likes to do.

What are you doing in this thread, anyway? Why do you insert yourself into a thread about Tricare for Life? You're not a veteran -- of the U.S. military, anyway. Tricare is only for we "so-called" veterans who actually served our country. America, that is.

Keyboard internet warrior. Gets to feel powerful this way. Sad.

I meant to respond to this last week, but just got too busy. We're a Tricare Prime family through my wife's military service (retired) while enrolled through FEDVIP from my current federal service. At the time there was financial incentive to do it this way for the family instead of through TRDP. Thanks for reminding us that it's open season as it might be time to revisit whether for 2019 it's better for us to enroll into FEDVIP from the military or federal side. For those that are in Tricare Select/Prime/Life and retired...probably the most important thing is to remember that if you are currently enrolled in a TRDP plan, you will not be automatically enrolled in a FEDVIP plan for 2019. Also, if being part of TRDP didn't make sense in the past...then perhaps another look at the 2019 plans under FEDVIP may be worth your time.

For me, it's fine just the way it is. All I wanted was a dental plan, and just over $32/month was fine with me. I'm Tricare for Life, which is the medical part for me, and I'm fine with that. I can't wait to see the 10 different plans to choose from for dental and eye care, along with the price tag.

Healthcare is costing me about 18k this year for a family of four with a high deductible. Once COBRA runs out it’s going to go up another 10k. How can I sustain that?

I'm fortunate; I'm not saying that I'm not. Tricare for Life was a benefit of retiring from the military, with no service connected disability. I'll leave it at the before this takes a spiral down hill. The thread was only to alert those with Tricare.

I didn't mean to suggest you were not grateful or deserving. I can pull the comment if you would like

Leave it. It's fine.

Sorry for dragging off topic for my part. My father was career govt and his health care benefit in retirement, especially when dementia set in, saved he and my mom.

Glad you you have a plan you are happy with.
