Surgeons General: Reform Tricare, Not Military Hospitals
Military health care reform must strike a balance between maintaining military readiness and fixing an “antiquated” Tricare system that needs upgrading, lawmakers said at a subcommittee hearing Tuesday on Capitol Hill.
“On not a happy note, I think Tricare as it’s designed is really antiquated — I wouldn’t give it a ‘B,’ ” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, who chairs the Senate Armed Services subcommittee on personnel. “I’m really going to be hard on you guys to come up with reforms, not just premium increases. We’re going to look hard at Tricare and turn it upside down and make it more transparent and make it more accountable.”
