Tricare and Medicare fee Reductions are driving Doctors away
http://starbulletin.com/2006/10/23/news/story04.html

This article is mainly about Medicare but Tricare is included too. Because Tricare doctor's fees are tied to Medicare.And, those fees start going down the fist of the year.
The first cut will be Jan. 1st its a 5.1% cut in fees to paid to the doctors. And those payments will go down more then 20% in the next few years. Due to Dubba games of hide and cut.

Bottom line here folks we are putting the health care of our military retirees at risk with this ridiculous program cuts. Are seniors will be at huge risk, Think about this when you go to vote. Replugs don't give a dam about you or your family
