No idea, those with Tricare are fortunate, even those with VA somehow. Some complain about long waiting for medical procedures, but still, have good coverage.

Senate Bill 1655 regarding Medicare for All. TriCare from what read will be exempt, for how long time will tell.

Thank you, Janet.

Something is fishy: “ cover items and services that are medically necessary or appropriate to maintain health”. Like vaccines? What could be NECESSARY or APPROPRIATE to mantain health? 🤣 What ITEMS could maintain health? Or what SERVICES?

The officials may give sugar to a diabetic then have to provide service of insulin. It is strange to myself also. They use vague words. A necessary or appropriate to take sugar out of everyone's diet.

🤣 the wording is misleading on purpose. English is my fourth language. I am certain that the bill was written but someone who knew how to play with words. If I am healthy, there is no service or action someone else ( medical establishment) can do for I to maintain it. 🤣 We can see how they “maintained” the health of American people in the last 4 years. 🫣

Words that could have several meanings depending on the context. I've seen old mainframes "maintained" in nice cold environments. Sometimes insects would get in, them pesky bugs. Think around the time of Grace Hopper USN reserve.

I edited/completed the previous comment… That bill sounds weird to me. The definition of prevention was “vaccines” 🤣

Adriana thanks for the edit. It may have something with micro/nano internet of things. It's been a while since around concepts.
