Today's Military:

Health Care Benefits in the Military

Cadet Alex Fan: You know, as a young person, it’s not often that we think about things like health care and insurance and things like that because most of us are very healthy. But the Military offers a very good choice in health benefits.

Senior Airman Jessica Eastburn: Even as a reservist, you can choose to buy TRICARE, which is the military health care, and it’s really cheap.

Capt. Ryan McHugh: If you’re getting your prescriptions from the base directly, it’s completely free for you and for your family that’s covered under the TRICARE plan.

Airman 1st Class Laura Lund: The Military was definitely helpful whenever I was pregnant with my daughter. They’re definitely there to help you out. I immediately went to the doctor when I thought that I might be, and we have our own OB/GYN clinic here. And they checked me out, and they said, “Yes, you’re pregnant, and here’s all sorts of information.”

Spc. Ashland Harnishfeger: If I break my arm, I don’t have to (laughs) worry about paying for the bill. All I have to worry about is making it to the hospital.
