Any retired military folks here? I retired from the Navy Reserves in 1994 with 24 years. I'm qualified for a Navy pension and "Tricare for Life" which is the military's retirement health plan. Although I am retired from the Navy Reserves, I have no pension or health insurance until I turn 60, at which time I get both.
I'm 57 and plan to retire from my "real job" this year. My company will pay a pension, and at least for now offers health insurance. It's not much, but it is insurance. They pay as primary health care insurance until Medicare starts at age 65.
I'm just curious how TriCare is working out for people. And, I wonder if I might ought to drop my civilian job's retirement health care at age 60 and use TriCare as my primary health insurance. I have no idea how these "primary" health covereages actually cover bills.
I know this info can be found "at the source" but it's interesting to hear how others have handled their situations.
Thanks.
