On TRICARE, Senate NDAA Agrees with House Version, with President and with NAUS

Earlier this year, NAUS President MG Bill Matz hand-delivered a letter to the White House that called on President Obama to not submit a budget calling for an increase in TRICARE fees and premiums.



As you know, The White House contacted MG Matz directly to let him know that there were no plans for TRICARE increases.



When the House passed its National Authorization Bill, it followed the President’s position on TRICARE.



We see now that the Senate, too, has followed the President’s position on TRICARE fees.



Having fought TRICARE fee increases over the past four years, NAUS is most pleased to see the strength of the President’s promise to NAUS kept by Congress, as there are no TRICARE increases in the either version of the bill as it goes to final conference.
