I have a question about Tricare's coverage for young adults. Can you help?

How rude can people be? My son doesn't make enough money to have health insurance. We pay our taxes and if it requires us to pay a little more for coverage for him, then we would. My husband didn't serve for 20 years to live off the government. It was a valid question for someone who may possibly be covered by a law which obviously you have no respect for.

So what you're saying is that the military is exempt for coverage for the uninsured former dependents. I was wondering if this was so because when I was reading stuff about the new law, it pretty much kept talking about employers, nothing about retirees insurance plans. Hopefully one day my son will get paid more or will become eligible at work to get coverage. I'd hate for him to get ill without insurance. Thanks for your help, unlike the first person who answered.

Thanks Mrsjvb. I think you were typing your reply as I was typing mine to the previous person who answered. I guess I never considered Tricare a benefit since we pay for our coverage. I used to work for a medical group and they didn't take Tricare, so we paid for separate coverage through my husband's employer at the time. When I stopped working, we switched to Tricare to save money. I appreciate you answering in a kind way. I know there are some people out there just wanting to live off the government, but why would someone spend 20 years at a job to do it? Have a nice day!

Thanks for the link square face.. You had no name at the bottom of the face!
