Schumer Shutdown Halts TRICARE Medical Payments for Military, Families — Jeopardizes Care

Breitbart– SAN ANTONIO, Texas — As the Schumer shutdown moves through its second week, health care providers are not being compensated for services provided to military service members and their families. Some doctors and health care providers in San Antonio who rely on TRICARE to pay for services provided to military members and dependents say they are now starting to feel the pinch.

The Democrats’ stated priority of extending federal subsidies related to Obamacare coverage may now be endangering the health care services for United States military service members, retirees, and their dependents. Although the financial hardships facing medical providers who rely on TRICARE are of nationwide concern, the issue is perhaps more visible in San Antonio, often referred to as “Military City USA” due to the number of Department of War installations located within the city.

San Antonio is home to Joint Base San Antonio, the U.S. military’s largest joint base operation that includes Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base, Fort Sam Houston, and Camp Bullis. Soldiers and Airmen assigned to the bases and their families rely on TRICARE to reimburse civilian health care providers who are now feeling the financial impact of the shutdown. Military retirees also rely on TRICARE insurance for healthcare needs. more

  1. This is stating to feel an awful lot like 18% of the country is trying to get even with the people that voted for Donald J. Chuck Schumer is a very large piece of shit. No Kings Day, the rotten communists, is on the 18th. They’ve already said they won’t open it up before then. And another America hating POS says they won’t reopen until planes are falling out of the sky. Why are these people allowed to walk around free?

  2. Apparently Democrats don’t understand that everyone realizes they’re jeopardizing American lives because they can’t get money to give to illegals? This will take a big bite out of their asses before all is said and done.
