TRICARE For Retirees Targeted in Budget Cuts

Military Update
TRICARE For Retirees Targeted In Budget Cuts
By Tom Philpott
As defense budgets grew over the past decade, Congress shrugged off complaints of runaway military health costs and blocked every proposal from the Bush administration to raise TRICARE fees sharply on retirees.
Defense budgets have stopped rising, however, and Defense officials today are sounding more confident that Congress will follow last October's $5-a-month bump in TRICARE Prime enrollment fees for working-age retirees with more substantial fee increases for retirees of all ages.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Arm Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, outlined plans Jan. 26 to lower defense budgets over the next 10 years by $487 billion in compliance with the Budget Control Act passed last spring to dampen growth in federal debt.
Though Panetta and Dempsey withheld full details on proposals to curb personnel costs, until President Obama presents his 2013 budget request to Congress Feb. 13, they said the personnel saving initiatives would include:
*New enrollment fees, co-pays and deductibles on retirees under 65, phasing them in over five years and using a "tiered approach" so that senior-grade retirees pay higher fees than lower ranking retirees.
*A new annual enrollment fee for the TRICARE for Life insurance supplement to Medicare, used by retirees 65 and older. This fee also would be tiered so retirees drawing smaller retirement checks pay less.
These changes, Defense leaders said, still would leave military retiree health care fees significantly below "comparable civilian equivalents."
TRICARE pharmacy co-payments would be increased again in ways to discourage use of the more convenient but more costly retail outlets and encourage greater use of base pharmacies and the home delivery program.
Persons medically retired by their service, and surviving spouses of members who died on active duty, would be exempt from the higher fees.
On active duty pay raises, Panetta said starting in 2015 they would be capped in some unspecified way though no member would see a drop in pay.
The budget also will ask Congress to establish a "BRAC-like" commission to recommend cost-saving reforms to military retirement. Any retirement changes, however, would impact only future recruits, not the current force or retirees. BRAC refers to Base Realignment and Closure commissions. They were given broad authority to recommend base closings, which Congress could accept or reject but not modify. The retirement commission would have similar powers regarding compensation changes.
Coincidently, Panetta said the budget will seek two more rounds of base closings to help to trim infrastructure costs.
Defense background papers explained that personnel costs make up a third of defense spending today but the planned cuts to personnel accounts would represent only one ninth of total funding to be stripped from future budgets, a concession to the importance of keeping a quality force.
"This budget recognizes that (people), far more than any weapon system, far more than any technology, are the great strength of the United States military," Panetta said. "For that reason, we focus first on every other area of the defense enterprise for savings, in order to minimize any impact on the quality of the troops and their families."
Five days later, when the Military Healthcare System held its annual conference at National Harbor, Md., across the Potomac River from Washington D.C., the keynote speaker for 3,000 attendees was Jonathan Woodson, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs.
He spoke about new "fiscal realities" impacting the health system but avoided mention of the planned fee increases. Woodson predicted, however, that smaller defense budgets "will shine an even brighter light on military health costs, which could exceed 10 percent of the Department of Defense budget if reforms are not made."
He noted too that, "for years, experts and nonexperts have been saying that the growth of health care costs is unsustainable. Everyone nods their head and says 'Yes, we need to control health care costs.' And somehow, despite all this head nodding in solemn agreement that costs cannot keep rising, the costs nonetheless have continued to go up."
Explosive growth in military health costs from 2000 to 2005 eased, Woodson said, so that the pace now matches inflation for civilian health care at about five percent a year. "But that is dangerously higher than the overall inflation rate," he added. When defense budgets were growing, "this was a cause for concern but it still seemed manageable. Not anymore. In order to meet the overall military readiness imperatives, and our moral obligation to the American taxpayer, we must slow down our growth rate."
Woodson pointed not to TRICARE fees increases but to "a new commitment to collaboration between the services to reduce redundancy and waste." He listed four major initiatives to lower costs and improve population health including: a new patient safety campaign; renewed efforts to reduce smoking by service members and obesity among families including retirees; expansion of the Patient-Centered Medical Home concept to enhance delivery of preventive services and lower costly emergency room visits by patients who only need primary care; an effort to encourage greater innovation throughout the military health system.
On TRICARE fees, associations representing beneficiaries, particularly retirees, are preparing for a fight on Capitol Hill while waiting for fuller details on the TRICARE proposals. Opponents are sure to argue that TRICARE for Life beneficiaries were promised free lifetime health care, even though the courts ruled such promises, by recruiters and career counselors, are nonbinding because they were not backed by written law.
They will argue too that deeply discounted lifetime health care is a benefit earned by all retirees through unique hardships of military careers.
The daunting challenge for sympathetic lawmakers will be finding budget dollars to shield retirees from higher TRICARE fees as overall defense spending falls.

First Amendment Prevails at Houston VA National Cemetary
Posted at 01:36 on Tuesday, October 25, 2011 by Post5412
The Veterans of Foreign Wars today(Friday) declared victory in a Federal Lawsuit ( Rainey v VA) filed over allegations of religious hostility and unlawful censorship by the VA and its director of the Houston National Cemetery.
Federal District Judge Lynn N. Hughes signed a consent decree ordering the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) to lift the ban on prayer and the word "God" at national cemeteries, to revoke national policies hostile to religion, and to reopen the Chapel which identity was previously changed to "meeting facility" at the Houston National Cemetery.
Texas-based Liberty Institute filed suit on behalf of the VFW over allegations of religious hostility and unlawful censorship by the VA and its director of the Houston National Cemetery. Officials told the VFW they could not have prayer during the burial services of veterans unless the family requested it specifically in writing and submitted the prayer to VA officials for pre-approval.
"The VFW is grateful that the government has restored the basic tenets recognized in the U.S. Constitution – which guarantees fundamental rights of religious expression and freedom of speech – to patriotic Americans who sacrifice everything to defend it. This is indeed a victory." said VFW National Commander Richard DeNoyer.

VFW Chides White House, Texas Governor for No-Show
Posted at 11:38 on Monday, August 22, 2011 by Post5412
KANSAS CITY, Mo., August 22, 2011 - The White House will not be sending a representative to the Veterans of Foreign Wars 112th National Convention in San Antonio, Texas, drawing harsh criticism and a rebuke from the leadership of the nation's largest combat veteran's organization.
"The VFW has had a long-standing tradition of inviting the sitting president to address our convention. We want to know where he stands on veterans' affairs, and we want those remarks made in public and on the record," said Richard L. Eubank, the national commander of the nearly 2 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. and its Auxiliaries.
"When the President is unable to attend, it has always been customary for the White House to choose a high-level administration official as an alternative speaker," Eubank continued. "It is an insult of the highest magnitude that for the first time in the history of the VFW, the White House has apparently decided that this great and iconic organization of combat veterans and all of its members are not worthy of its notice by not at least offering a first-tier speaker from the administration."
Eubank, a Marine Corps retiree and Vietnam combat veteran from Eugene, Ore., was also critical of Texas Governor, Rick Perry; "The VFW also has a tradition of inviting the governor of the host state where its annual convention is being held to come and welcome and greet our convention delegates. Although Governor Perry was similarly sent an invitation 3 months ago, apparently our invitation was deemed not important enough for the governor’s office to at least accept or decline the invitation. Governor Perry's candidacy for president does not provide him an excuse for bad manners. The White House and Governor Perry can rest assured that the 2 million members of the VFW and its Auxiliaries will remember this discourteous treatment for a very long time to come."
Annually, the VFW's National Convention plays host to a number of other speakers as well, including prominent members of the Cabinet, military and civic leaders, business leaders and a host of everyday people honored for their exemplary service.
VFW letter: the debt deal's done, now what?
Posted at 21:34 on Tuesday, August 2, 2011 by Post5412
Dear VFW, Ladies Auxiliary and Supporters:The president this afternoon signed congressional legislation to raise the federal debt limit and reduce government spending. The larger question is now how this all impacts veterans, service members, their families and survivors.
The measure passed by the Senate today and in the House yesterday will raise the $14.3 trillion debt limit by at least $2.1 trillion. An additional $500 billion could come in the fall, provided two-thirds of Congress approves. The final increase, expected early next year, would provide the Treasury enough borrowing power to pay its bills into 2013.
The deal also calls for sharp cuts in agency spending --- about $917 billion over the next decade --- starting with a $25 billion reduction in fiscal year 2012, which begins Oct. 1, with a second set of reductions coming later this year via a special committee charged with wringing at least $1.2 trillion more over the next decade. If the committee fails to act --- or if Congress does not adopt its recommendations by Dec. 23 --- government spending would be cut across the board by the same amount, with the reductions split 50:50 between security and non-security programs.
Either way, many DOD and VA programs and services could be negatively impacted, which would counteract everything the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. has worked hard to create over the past 112 years. The VFW and our supporters cannot let this happen.
On the VFW website is a list of 10 services and programs the organization believes are most vulnerable to being cut or curtailed in order to help pay for 10 years of war. The "10 for 10" list will form the basis of VFW's legislative efforts and calls to action to its membership and grassroots supporters. Now is the time to re-engage with your members of Congress.
Yours in Comradeship,
ROBERT E. WALLACE
Executive Director

Attorney General’s opinion clarifies tax exemption for disabled veterans
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has issued an opinion clarifying interpretation of new legislation granting a real estate tax exemption to veterans with a 100 percent, permanent and total, service-connected disability. The legislation, enacted by the 2011General Assembly in response to a constitutional amendment passed by voters in 2010, exempts real estate, including property held jointly by a husband and wife, from taxation provided the veteran meets the specified disability requirements. The exemption applies to the building on the property and up to one acre of land. The veteran must use the property as his or her principal residence.
The Attorney General’s opinion, issued July 15, 2011, clarifies the term 100% disability to include veterans rated by the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as individually unemployable due to a service-connected disability. These veterans must be unable to secure or hold gainful employment due to their service-connected disability. Additionally, they must have one service-connected disability ratable at 60 percent or more, or two or more service-connected disabilities with at least one disability ratable at 40 percent or more and with a combined rating of 70 percent or more.
The legislation also grants the exemption to the surviving spouse of an eligible veteran if the veteran died on or after January 1, 2011. The spouse will lose the exemption if he or she remarries or does not occupy the property as his or her primary place of residence. According to the Attorney General’s opinion, the way the law was written, the exemption is not retroactive and spouses will not be eligible if the veteran died prior to January 1, 2011.
The Attorney General’s opinion also stated that the exemption was not available if the real estate is in a revocable trust with the spouse or others or in an irrevocable trust, and that the exemption is not available to a surviving spouse of an eligible veteran if the spouse relocates.
Opinions issued by the Attorney General do not create new law. However, they represent a legal analysis of current law based on a thorough review of existing law and relevant prior court decisions. To read this opinion from the Attorney General, visit http://www.vaag.com/Opinions%20and %20Legal%20Resources/ Opinions/2011opns/July11opndx.html.
To apply for the exemption, veterans should contact their local commissioner of the revenue or other designated local government official.
The Virginia Department of Veterans has 20 offices statewide that assist veterans and their families with applying for federal and state veterans benefits. Visit www.virginiaforveterans for the location of a DVS office near you.
VFW Joins in Houston National Cemetery Censorship Lawsuit
Posted at 23:11 on Tuesday, July 5, 2011 by Post5412
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 1, 2011 - The national commander of America's largest and oldest major combat veterans' organization is appalled over allegations of religious censorship at one of the nation’s national cemeteries, calling it a case of “bureaucracy running amok.”
“This is a point in case of bureaucracy…or rather, a classic example of a bureaucrat running amok. In spite of VA policy, the cemetery director is making up her own rules and has imposed hurtful, unilateral restrictions of her own choosing,” said Richard L. Eubank, the national commander of the 2.1 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. and its Auxiliaries.
Texas-based Liberty Institute has filed suit on behalf of the VFW, American Legion, and The National Memorial Ladies over allegations of religious hostility and unlawful censorship by the VA and its director of the Houston National Cemetery. "They've told the VFW and the American Legion that they cannot have prayer during the burial services of our veterans, unless the family requests it in writing and submits the prayer for pre-approval," said Liberty Institute general counsel Jeff Mateer.Read more

New legislation provides vital records to veterans at no cost, hunting licenses at reduced cost
RICHMOND —Two pieces of legislation passed unanimously by the 2011 General Assembly and signed into law by Governor McDonnell will provide veterans with copies of vital records at no cost and hunting licenses at a reduced cost.
Vital records at no cost
Veterans and their survivors may receive a certified copy of vital records, such as birth, death, and marriage certificates, from the Virginia Department of Health, Division of Vital Records at no charge if the records will be used to obtain military service-connected benefits. The legislation was patroned by Delegate Massie and Senator Northam. To obtain more information, veterans or their survivors should contact the Division of Vital Records at (804) 662-6200.
Hunting licenses for disabled veterans at a discounted cost
Beginning July 1, discounted hunting licenses will be available to disabled veterans. Resident veterans rated by the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs as having a 70 percent service-connected disability may purchase an annual state resident basic hunting license at half price. Veterans with a 70 percent service-connected disability residing out of state may purchase an annual non-resident basic hunting license at half price. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries already offers a lifetime hunting and fishing license and a life-time trapping license to disabled veterans at a reduced cost. The new law was sponsored by Delegate Armstrong. An application for the license is available on the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries’ website at www.dgif.virginia.gov.
Although not part of the legislative package, earlier this year Governor McDonnell granted veterans free access to all state parks through the end of 2011.

In-state tuition residency requirement waived for veterans at public colleges and universities
RICHMOND—Legislation patroned by Delegates Anderson and Stolle and Senator Edwards during the 2011 General Assembly session will grant veterans in-state tuition rates at Virginia colleges and universities without waiting the normal one-year period. “Coupled with their G.I. Bill benefits, this is a huge benefit for veterans that can save them thousands of dollars and help them kick-start their higher education,” commented Paul Galanti, a former Vietnam POW and Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Veterans Services.
Ordinarily, to qualify for in-state tuition rates, students must have been domiciled in Virginia for at least one year prior to the school year. To verify domicile, colleges typically review whether the student has lived continuously in Virginia for one year prior to the school year and, as applicable, paid income taxes, held a Virginia driver’s license and motor vehicle registration, registered to vote in Virginia, been employed, or owned property in the Commonwealth.
Under the new legislation, the one-year residency requirement will be waived for veterans and their dependents. Once veterans establish proof of Virginia domicile, they will qualify for in-state tuition rates as of the next semester.
Eligibility for in-state tuition rates is determined by the college or university during the enrollment process. Veterans should contact their prospective college or university for additional information.
