Military Retired and Obama Care

[robcaro]

I am retired from the Military and have medical care by Tri-Care for Life. Do I need to subscribe to Medical Insurance from Obama Care.

No.

No.

By what means are you certain of your “NO”?

This link has this quote:

To affirm that TRICARE meets the requirement for individual health care coverage, the House unanimously passed “The TRICARE Affirmation Act” (H.R. 4887) sponsored by House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Ike Skelton (Mo.). Senator Richard Burr (N.C.), ranking member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, successfully amended the so-called “fix it bill” (H.R. 4872) to clarify that VA health programs and TRICARE are qualifying coverages under the new health care law. The “fix it bill” passed in both the House and Senate and is expected to be signed into law by President Obama.

Bolding mine. However there does seem to be discussion about coverage for 21-26 aged children of military personnel.

The Tricare page itself covers this: http://tricare.mil/aca
