There’s not really much of a way that a secretary of defense can play a role in the health care fight. But Robert Gates last night sent out a statementletting everyone know that nothing in the health care bill passed by the House last night will mean anything for the medical insurance plan used by U.S. service personnel. Did anyone suggest it would? Not really, but just in case, now you know.
As Secretary of Defense, the health and well-being of America’s men and women in uniform is my highest priority.
Our troops and their families can be re-assured that the health care reform legislation being passed by the Congress will not negatively impact the TRICARE medical insurance program, as it already meets the bill’s quality and minimum benefit standards. This was clarified by a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives yesterday and is expected to be re-affirmed by the Senate.
The President and I are committed to seeing that our troops, retirees and their families will continue to receive the best quality health care.
Who knows — a future talking point against the bill preemptively debunked?
