Higher premiums for civilian health insurance may be increasing retirees' reliance on TRICARE, which in turn may be causing DoD health care spending costs to rise. |

| Publisher Description: Pilot survey of military retirees provides useful information on retirees' health care status, civilian health insurance enrollment, and reliance on TRICARE, the Department of Defense sponsored health care plan. Findings suggest that retirees with civilian health insurance also continue to rely on TRICARE for medical and drug coverage and that higher premiums for civilian health insurance may cause them to shift entirely to TRICARE. |
