I live in Canada and the Health Care system is not very great. I wonder how many HMOs do you have to choose from with Obamacare?

Obamacare is in trouble. Some areas have lost other providers. How many choices do you have? Did you enroll from the ARNG or USAR with Tri-care to save or is that too expensive too? What are your thoughts or experiences? I live in Canada and they are short doctors and hospitals. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/08/29/obamacare-coverage-options-disappearing-across-country-report-finds.html

Your statement is just not possible. I argued your position in my doctoral training a few years back and two of my professors told me I was flat out wrong and tried to fail my papers. This discussion ended up with the dean of the department where we all agreed to disagree...

Blue Cross is the ONLY company still selling policies statewide (TN) under Obamacare and they just requested a rate increase of 62% after about 30% last year. Everyone else has just bailed out so there really is no choice here. Obamacare is pretty much down the sewer here. There are a few companies selling in selected areas but they too are going up like a moon rocket.

MAJ Charles Blake Sgt Pesz concurrs with the Fox report that he is only with one provider and his rates went up 30% last year and 62% this year. Obamacare is in trouble in many areas.

LTC (Join to see) - no doubt. there is talk of rolling Tricare and or the VA into the AHA. We have to be careful here because personally I think the AHA was set up to fail IOT start bringing all healthcare under government supervision.

well gents, hold on to your hat. there is already discussion of how to roll Tricare into the AHA IOT change the color on money spent on AD and retirees. If that's not enough, there is also talk of how to roll the VA and Tricare together or one/both into the AHA. Politically it saves the AHA because no one wants to vote healthcare away from the military. In reality, well - I'll let you figure that one out.

Ok. Glad to hear that. I worked with providers in that system and they tell a different story.

My family and I are enrolled in Tricare Reserve Select (it's the same whether Guard or Reserve in any Service, if I understand correctly). It is an excellent benefit, much much better than what is offered through my civilian employer. There are also two hospitals in my city and they both take Tricare so that impacts how "good" of a benefit it is.
