EMERGENCY ALERT FROM AIR FORCE SERGEANT'S ASSOCIATION - TRICARE ALERT!
ACTION ALERT!
The proposed TRICARE Fee increases will significantly reduce the value of the benefits those currently serving will receive upon retirement.
Based on inputs we have received from active duty personnel, members are rightfully dismayed and feel disgusted that their leadership is abandoning them. We feel the Administration has underesti-mated the impact this change will have on the ac-tive duty force. Members of Congress are beginning to listen and it’s imperative that they hear from actively serving individuals on how this DoD proposal will impact future career reenlistment decisions.
Make it a voting issue and let elected offi-cials know you won’t be voting for anyone that supports these increases during the November election. Many Americans don’t pay attention to the news, actively engage damaging legislative issues, or vote. They apparently don’t care. Many who do care feel helpless yet do nothing; not real-izing that their complacent attitude is exactly what allows questionable agendas to get pushed through.
This is not the time to stand idly by and do nothing…you must act. All Air Force Active Duty, Guard, Reserve, retirees, friends and family members need to write or call their elected officials now! Use the Legislative Bulletin and sample letter located at http://www.afsahq.org/docs/tricare-fees-increase.pdf to familiarize yourself with the issue and formulate your message to Congress. Remember, if you’re not an active citizen, you’re the first person to blame!
