This is a true statement.
I'm retired ARNGUS and just encountered another health insurance problem. My wife has insurance from her employer and I turned down my company health insurance in favor of her plan. It is similar in coverage and her premium share is 40% less than what my employer charges.
Now, her company is requiring the spouses of their employees to purchase health care from their employers, IF AVAILABLE, or face higher premiums beginning in 2018. A coworker at my company has the same issue with his wife's employer.
We plan to drop my coverage and keep our daughters on her plan. When that time comes, Tricare Standard will be my only coverage.
