Our nation's veterans deserve our unequivocal commitment to ensuring that they receive the disability, health, education and other benefits they have earned. I do NOT support increases in Tricare premiums, deductibles and co-payments and will support efforts underway to look at the cost of sustaining Defense health care over the long term.
