    Its pretty discouraging to be denied more affordable healthcare just because I made the decision to work at my base full time instead of one weekend a month. Friends of mine who work at small businesses have better health care for more affordable rates than my family does. This is common sense legislation that can and should be acted upon now!

    I've seen My Premiums Rise and My Co-Pays Rise with MY BC&BS PLAN year after year since the UN-AFFORDABLE Care Act was passed. Enough is Enough.

    My husband was in the Air National Guards for 35 years. I can’t afford the other insurance as I am now a widow.

    It is had to witness what is going in National guide and Reserve service men and their family health insurance. You can call them when you need them but why can't they care about their wellbeing. We need health care coverage for them now!

    My husband was a DOD technician. I understand how important medical is to a family . I believe DOD technicians deserve this. I vote, yes !! If you wear ACU’s everyday, you deserve tricare medical coverage for you & your family.

    Make sure to check out LIUNA Local 1776, the one's who have been pushing this for over 10 years! www.local1776.org FACT: A Fed Employee’s eligibility for FEHB prevents them from taking advantage of the more affordable TRS health insurance. CONCERN: Lack of access to TRS financially penalizes Fed Employee Reservists and their families upwards of $4500 per year. PROPOSAL: Allow Fed Employees access to the more affordable TRS in addition to FEHB.

    This is long over due. The National Guard and Reserve's contribution to our country's security needs to finally be recognized. We all sacrifice to perform our duty.

    I feel that allowing duel status federal techs tricare is an essential benifet that needs to happen. I only feel that it is not allowed as an agreement between the government and insurance companies.

    No member of the National Guard should be denied the option of TRS. I feel it is a form of discrimination.
