Pentagon weighs TRICARE hikes as health costs rise
The Pentagon faces pressure to raise TRICARE fees for working age retirees amid soaring health care costs. Current fees are 230 dollars for individuals and 460 for families, with a proposed 2.50 and 5 dollar monthly increase starting 2013 pegged to the health expenditure index. Defense leaders warn health care spending rivals top defense outlays as lawmakers debate the change and consider tying future increases to cost of living or retiree benefits.
