From a reader: The truth is, only the individual is responsible for his or
her health and the health of their family members. It is your responsibility to
research the most affordable and available healthcare plan you can find, not to
mention quality. You reap what you sow, to coin a phrase. Tricare, like all
healthcare programs has its flaws, but it's only an option among many. You
fellows in the Philippines are fighting a losing battle that may cause you only
health problems in the long run. Do you honestly think 30 retirees, in a closed
and restricted meeting, telling their stories will even make a dent in a system
as big and bureaucratic as Tricare? Their focus is not on the minority overseas
but the majority in the United States. For those of you who are from the
Philippines you may be better off then those who are not. You know the culture
and healthcare systems better than anyone. Help those retirees who are looking
for alternatives to healthcare. Create a network of brothers and sisters
assisting each other. I tend to agree with Crazy in a way. Find yourselves
alternatives to Tricare or leave the area you are residing in. Your options are
limited, but that is the choice you made when you retired in a country other
then the U.S. It is unfare, I agree, but there are perks and sacrifices
wherever you go.
