Did anyone else notice Obsmas budget shafted Military retirees with new/higher Tricare costs?

Sure but compared to what you get in the outside world it is still cheaper.

Let's see I pay $90 a month for just ME, have a $35-50 copay for every visit, then a deductible of $4000. If I had to add my 2 kids it would be $800 a month or more. At my yearly exam one. test was around $130 and another was $275

Then there is also the fact that part of the reason why you pay more is because doctors are CHARGING more. Costs are riding for them including insurance because people have slapped them with so many lawsuits as they have forgotten they are human and make mistakes.

Honestly, no.
I'll wait to see what actually comes out in law. Obama and Congress haven't exactly done a good job at coming to an agreement on much the last few years, so I'll wait to see if we actually have a budge next year and not just a CR.

It's still lower than just about every single civilian insurance company out there. I'll take it.

Not related to your question, but please stop calling me a liar on the other forum we frequent. My life experience has been different from yours, and you're from one generation ahead of me. I'm not lying when I relay my personal opinions on topics based on the things I have personally witnessed.

The American taxpayer is not responsible for providing you with everything imaginable after you've LEFT the service, does any other employer do that for a FORMER employee? No. Your generation is so entitled.
