3. It has the letters "gop" in the name. Why would we ever put any stock into anything there?

4. It's a scare tactic. The head of the Veterans Comission supports the bill.
Slaughter put down the provisions that state this during the debate.

5. It won't cover British or Australian plans either

Has nothing to do with the military which has its own system

It has nothing to do with military health care.
Look up the word 'orthogonal'.

7. I'm not going there, but are they saying that if a soldier in combat
gets wounded he won't get medical care?

12. No, Tricare is an insurance for Veterans families,
usually retired, it has nothing to do with soldiers in combat.

17. TRICARE covers everyone, active duty and retired.
TRICARE is not included in this bill and will not be affected by it, or at least that's the info I received from the Navy.
