If you serve a full military career to retirement, the TRICARE health benefit pays 80% of doctor/medical costs and prescription drugs (with co-pay). Dental and vision not covered. Therefore, a retiree is responsible for the rest out-of-pocket. However, there are supplemental policies offered through military organizations at minimal cost ($30-40 per month) that takes care of all co-pays (doctor/medical).

When a military retiree reaches age 65, Medicare becomes the primary insurer and TRICARE assumes the role of secondary payer. Net result is zero out-of-pocket for the retiree for any doctor/medical bills. Still have co-pays for prescriptions (amount varies based on what drugs you're prescribed.) And still have to get other insurance (or pay out of pocket) for dental and vision.

Great benefit, if you're willing/able to serve a full career (and all that wearing the uniform requires.)
That & pension are #1 recruiting tool$ for the services.
