Health Insurance

If you are on post their basic coverage will meet your regular needs. If you need anything beyond the basics, be prepared for the longest bureaucratic challenge of your life. TriCare will cover the costs of a child with MS, but you will need to dedicate 8 hours a week to paperwork.

Best thing you can get for 0 dollars, it covers literally everything you could ever think of.

It's there when you need it and you don't have to pay a thing

They offer many options. You can also put money aside for a flex account. This way you don't pay taxes on a portion of your salary used for applicable expenses.

Must be used within a military hospital, the Tricare does not always cover your healthcare needs outside of the military bases.

Insurance for self and family is free. Can often have long waits, particularly for family members. Many workers are brand new to the military and can seem slightly lost and bog down process of scheduling.

Long wait for medical care

Healthcare is completely free and the VA/Military hospitals are usually pretty helpful.

pay the couple dollars more; get the better "standard" family care
