I declined AA and the premiums for rsv sel were 300/mo and then i had a 10%/20% deductible or something close to that and ended up waaay more expensive than the buy up. So when i had that option I jumped on it. Curious where you have found the savings. Thanks.
Tricare is just over $500 a year for family Prime. You still pay a $20-30 deductible per visit, but I’ve had it for 17 years here and have been very happy.
