What politicians are responsible for ending Military Retiree TRICARE dental insurance coverage?

Under new FEDVIP my cost goes from $65 to $85 per for virtually the exact same policy. The problem is my dentist doesn't get an extra penny but FEDVIP gets $20 extra a month or $240 a year for doing nothing. Just another method of degrading our benefits!

All of them. At one time or another they have voted to lessen the benefits Veterans, Service men and women receive. It's like musical chairs using politics.

The problem seems to be the politicians. It does not matter who is in office the veteran will take it on the chin over time.

SGM Joel Cook It's in Section 713 of the John McCain National Defense Authorization Act of 2019. See link below:

"SEC. 713. ADMINISTRATION OF TRICARE DENTAL PLANS THROUGH THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES DENTAL AND VISION INSURANCE PROGRAM."
