More On Tricare

Secretary Hagel warned that troops and their families will be asked to sacrifice on pay and benefits to preserve readiness.

DoD may close Tricare service centers as part of a cost-saving move that would affect hundreds of thousands of troops.

On Monday the White House pressed the Pentagon to rein in Tricare costs and begin a new round of base closings.

Barring working-age retirees from TRICARE Prime would be the best way to rein in DoD health care expenses, a CBO report says.

The plan would spare favored programs from cutbacks, including cyberwar, Special Operations and drone operations.

Families and retirees may have only one health care plan option and higher out-of-pocket fees under a controversial proposal.

The troops will go along with cuts to benefits and health care, but want certainty on how the changes go into effect.
