Luckily I am retired Navy in addition to receiving VA Health Care, so my wife and child use my Tricare. My daughter is also special needs, so she will most likely remain eligible for Tricare as my dependent for the rest of my/her life.

As to the rest of my fellow veterans in the situation you describe, maybe the failure of Obama Care will actually drive health costs DOWN or at least back to the level they were before the ACA?

I do hope patience for improvement in the market pays off for these organizations... Otherwise, this has the potential to become pretty nasty...

Lucky enough to have great insurance from my employer. They have always made health insurance their best benefit. They also promote a great wellness program. Employee health care was good last year they were able to cut our major medical deductible in half.

I'm in a fortunate position, my wife and I have Tricare. My daughter is covered thru her husband who works for a defense contractor. My older son is covered thru his employer and my youngest son is AD Marine Corps.

So, so far so good.

My wife & I are covered under tricare, bu two of my adult children who are still in graduate school find themselves facing this issue, 26 y/o daughter went with a health share program as opposed to obamacare which was $400 more expensive. 22 y/o daughter is paying $300/month under tricare young adult program.
