You can relax. Your active-duty and/or retired health benefits meet the newly enacted federal guidelines under Obamacare to avoid the tax penalties that will be assessed against losers who can afford insurance but are underinsured or who refuse to buy it.

"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever they can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser; in fees, expenses and waste of time." -- Abraham Lincoln, (1809-1865) Lawyer and President who saved the United States.
"Without opportunities on the part of the poor to obtain expert legal advice, it is idle to talk of equality before the law"-- Justice Chas. Evans Hughes
Thanks for that link, Homey, I had wondered how all of this crap would affect us. Tricare has been deafeningly silent on the whole subject, and I was really hoping this wouldn't throw even more monkey wrenches into that whole setup. It's such a huge PITA as it is, don't get me started. I am appreciative of the health care I receive, but it is a great big bureaucracy, you have to be a very aggressive patient to get the care you need, and it is also a huge chunk of Mr. SS's pay--plus, I haven't seen him in 8 months, so there's that. It's nice to go to the Dr. and get my medicines and not "pay" anything, but it is by no means "free" health care.
Thanks Homey, I was wondering also.
I have been in the Tampa VA system for almost 10 years and the care I receive is top notch.
I have found Tampa's system to be very well organized, efficent, and complete.
An Education is what you get when you Read the Instructions,
Experience is what you get if you don't...
