CALL TO ACTION:
S.5142, the Healthcare for our Troops Act.
EANGUS strongly supports this legislation which would provide access to zero-cost TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS) insurance to Reserve Component (RC) servicemembers. Additionally, this legislation expands TRS eligibility to RC servicemembers currently working for the federal government in their civilian capacity. Senate Bill 5142 serves as a companion bill to HR 3512, which was introduced by Reps. Andy Kim (NJ-03) and Trent Kelly (MS-01) in 2021.
Please read more about it at the EANGUS Legislative Action Center – link below. Then write to your Senators and ask them to support this bill! A prepared letter is available at the site below so it only takes a couple of minutes to make your voice heard. We also request that you share this information with other National Guard members, families, and supporters who can also use our Call to Action to send a letter.
