Health Care Fairness for Military Families Act of 2023
S 956, the Health Care Fairness for Military Families Act of 2023, eliminates a separate premium for young adult dependents under the TRICARE Young Adult Program. It directly affects military service members' children aged 21-26 who previously paid an additional fee to remain covered after turning 21. The bill amends Title 10, U.S. Code, to remove the separate premium requirement (by striking subsection (c) of section 1110b) and adjusts related eligibility rules, simplifying coverage continuity without additional cost for these dependents.
