User ID: 79640970 United States02/26/2021 01:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi guys. I hope you don't mind me popping in. I apologize from the bottom of my not working so well heart for messing things up last week. I hope y'all will forgive me for what happened. Quoting: Texan Buckeye I won't be posting too much for awhile. I had my dr. appt. on Monday and there is concern that congestive heart failure has finally caught up with me. I'm waiting on an appt. for an echogram. It's been checked several times over the years, but because we moved so much and changed dr's everytime, I've fallen through the cracks. Our military insurance, Tricare, isn't helping either. The closest PCM is 2 hours away in another state. It's been very hard and this week, it got harder. I have to find specialists here that will take our insurance. So far, we've been lucky with that, but I have a new list I have to search for. Everything about our insurance is online now. I wish I could talk to a person again. We just had to make it 2 more years healthy and then it wouldn't be a problem. Hubby would be officially retired, on SS and Tricare would be secondary. It didn't used to be a problem finding doc's here, but they've changed the rules a few years ago. They don't count Cleveland as a base anymore, so we drive farther. I wish they'd let us go to Cleveland, but it's just a bit too much too far, I guess. Anyway, thanks for letting me hang out. I hope I'm still welcome, but I understand if some don't think so. If nothing else, I'll still be reading.  Buckeye, I am baffled. It was my understanding that military Tricare healthcare insurance was the best available in the USA? My son has been paying into this system so that he can retire after 20 years in the Navy with full healthcare insurance and a pension for the rest of his life, are we wrong? Hi Lago. It's ok, Tricare is confusing to most of us at least half the time. You're right and wrong at the same time. Tricare is really good if you happen to live near a base. We don't. I wouldn't call it the best in the country as it's coded along with Medicaid and Medicare. We've always been put into the welfare clinics. In one city, I never met my PCM. I saw interns and residents. I WILL say those kids were some of the very best! Your son is paying into the retirement plan, most likely. I can't talk about that as it's so much different than what we have. My husband retired before that plan was put into place. Health care is a separate thing. Right now, your son doesn't pay premiums and his co-pays, if he has any, are much lower than ours. As it stands right now, if he keeps Tricare when he retires, he will have to pay yearly premiums. I don't know how the VA works as my husband isn't currently using it. I hope that helps. Just tell your son to make sure he retires near a base. We did originally, but life got in the way when we had to move a couple of times since then. Your son has quite awhile to go, so I wouldn't be too concerned. He has good care now. Who knows what changes the gov. will make by the time he retires? Oh, btw...it was World Book, not Britannica, that we had at home. Hi Texan Buckeye, thanks for the clarification. My sons base is in southeast Georgia but he purchased a house in northeast Florida! However, it is my understanding that he is only half an hours drive from his base. Lago |
