Tricare Help: Is retiree stuck with bad plan, or can he switch to Tricare for Life?
Q. I have a friend who is an aging, retired Army colonel. After his long military service, he worked for an insurance company from which he is also now retired — with truly lousy retirement benefits. My wife and I told him about the benefits we get from Medicare and Tricare For Life. Can he “renounce” that other retirement health plan that has such skimpy benefits, and enroll in Tricare For Life?Tricare Help: Can I keep Tricare after I get out?
Q. I’ve been in the Navy for four years and am getting out this summer. After I get out, can I still use Tricare? Would my family be eligible as well?On-base families should be able to choose public school, lawmakers say

Navy veteran Jack Faust has won nine gold medals and two silvers the past five times he’s competed at the National Veterans Golden Age Games.Tricare Help: If TFL pays all, why am I being billed?
Q. You have said many times that under Tricare for Life, when a medical service is covered by both Medicare and Tricare, Tricare acts as a secondary payer and will pay whatever Medicare does not. So why am I still getting bills from my doctor’s office for $80 and more?Hog wild: Taking down feral pigs in Texas
HONDO, Texas — Mike Bodenchuk’s diverse hit squad of skilled shooters, trappers and chopper pilots is trying to assert some measure of control over a seemingly uncontrollable situation afflicting the expansive Texas countryside: A feral hog epidemic.Tricare Help: If we marry and I die, will she lose her Tricare coverage?
Q. You have said a former spouse remains eligible for military health care if the sponsor’s active duty and the marriage overlapped by at least 20 years. But you’ve also said that if a sponsor dies, the spouse’s Tricare coverage is not affected and that the duration of the marriage is not a factor. I’ve been seeing a lady who is divorced from a military retiree and has Tricare for Life under his name. I’m also a military retiree with TFL. I’ve been told that if we married, she would lose Tricare through her ex-spouse, and if I died, she would lose Tricare through me, since we would not have been married for 20 years. Can you advise?Tricare Help: Can estranged spouse be taken off DEERS?
Q. My friend and his wife are legally separated, but she is not cooperating with a divorce. How can he get her off his DEERS?Tricare Help: Will TFL make me switch doctors?
Q. I will be 65 and get Medicare in August. However, I have finally found a doctor I like at my military hospital. He explains things to me and never rushes. How can I keep seeing him after I get Tricare for Life?2012 rifle rundown: Sporting weapons in every price range
