The biggest knife for slicing TRICARE costs off future defense budgets is not new and higher enrollment fees or deductibles proposed for retirees and their families who use one of the military’s health insurance options of TRICARE Prime, Standard, Extra or, for the elderly, TRICARE for Life.

But even more dollars — $28 billion over 10 years — would be saved in T... Full story

No Turkish, Syrian, Iraqi, Egyptian, Persian or Levantine tracks can be found on my mp3 player. But that didn’t stop me from becoming a supporter on Monday night. It...
