This is great news for our Reserves and National Guard! Now the problem is finding health care practitioners who will accept Tricare. In my area there are many physicians who do not accept Tricare due to the length it takes for payment of services rendered. In my personal opinion, all physicians who used government money for medical school or attended a medical school that used government money should be required to accept Tricare and Medicare!

I don't have a problem with extending medical care to Guard and Reserves, however, the MTF's are cutting back services already. One of the clinics in the Walter Reed System recently cut back from being open 7 days a week, to 5 ½ days per week, and made service men go to the public sector when they retire because they don't have enough resources, Now Congress want to expand eligibility to even more people. You can only do more with less for so long.

"The amendment would cost the Defense Department an estimated $3.8 billion over the next five years, Graham said. "There is all kinds of waste in the Pentagon that would more than pay for this," he added. " If this is known to Graham he should reduce the current appropriation by $3.8 billion. Health care has nothing to do with it! Extended health care for guard and reserves is ridiculous. There should be a national health program for everyone and it should be for a fee. The fee, however, should cover the total cost of any program involved.

The beginning of equality for reservists and guardsmen. Now then, will they set our retirement age at 55? I could have used this insurance 10 years ago when I didn't have health insurance from my employer.
