Did Pres Obama say military should pay own health care premiums?
Dltrout
I don't know about actve duty personnel, but we retirees and their dependants pay premiums to Tri=Care and if you are eligible for Medi-Care, you are REQUIRED to pay part B or Tri-care will refuse you coverage.Real caring in action for those who have given over twenty years to the defense of their country.

∙ 11y agoNo, this is an internet myth. There was never a proposal to make the military purchase their own insurance; there were some suggested proposals back in 2009 for cutting health costs, but these suggestions did not include eliminating military insurance. I enclose a link to a site that fact-checked this claim and found it to be untrue.

∙ 11y agoHe supports it, and in fact, he has said he especially wants to expand mental health treatment, physical therapy, and other health-related services for returning troops. About two years ago, there was an incorrect story that he wanted to cut military benefits, but that story was not accurate.
