Paid TRICARE Coverage for all Reserve Components
Health care coverage for National Guard Servicemembers is a top Priority for Senior Leaders of the National Guard.
In 2020 alone, more than 100,000 National Guard Servicemembers deployed. A large portion of these mobilizations were for domestic missions such as COVID-19, civil disturbance, and natural disasters. Ensuring that National Guard Servicemembers are medically deployable is critical in ensuring that that force can respond when called upon.
Additionally, providing health care coverage also ensures that our Servicemembers can get the medical services needed when they have a medical issue regardless of the type of military status they are under.
By providing paid #healthcare coverage to our National Guard Servicemembers and allowing each individual Servicemember the ability to add their families at their own expense allows the National Guard to have higher levels of readiness and deployability, ensure continuity of medical coverage regardless of military status, and offer a tool to increase recruiting and retention within the force.
