Half-page story in today's Fayetteville rag titled, "Higher Tricare fees planned for retirees" - includes a chart with the increases.

BLUF: What you're paying $460 for now (family rate) will escalate to $900 for enlisted and $1500 for officers by 1 Oct 08, with incrimental increases between now and then.

I looked to see if there's a link on the Fayetteville Observer's website - there's not.

As a 90% disabled vet and retiree, I should be able to go to Womack or the VA hospital for everything, yet I've chosen to pay out of pocket for Mailhandlers since I became a civil servant in 1990.
