Well, this will be a big issue for me in November too.
I'm on SSDI/Medicare. Although it is a Godsend that I qualified, I am going broke. ![]() My biggest fear is not getting sicker, I can handle that. It's losing my house & independence. ![]() Wow...I'm not usually such a downer! Sorry. ![]()

Does TriCare count as "group insurance?" That was a tough question to answer, so I put yes. Also, I am in a clinical trial for Tovaxin so not falling through the cracks but trying to open a new option for those who want another option!
We had to cancel our company offered health insurance due to the high premium cost, but thankfully we had TriCare to fall back on. It has been great so far especially the rx coverage! We are in the process of doing our taxes for last year and out of pocket just for my medications was over $3000 and that doesn't include the premium for the rx coverage!!! I cannot believe what we had to pay last year...no wonder our savings account is empty! ![]() Needless to say I am very thankful for TriCare. ![]()

My b-in-law just got out of the Air Force last year. My sister refers to TriCare as "Try To Get Care" sometimes. Apparently the area of the country where they moved, there's not many AF bases, and there arent many doctors who accept TriCare for some reason. |

The TriCare website is great and all of the customer care reps on the phone have been wonderful.

I'm 49, on Tysabri and have a group plan through my husband's union membership. (Thank God!)
