These past two weeks, there
have been many hearings on the Hill about the FY13 budget. Most of
the time, you can actually listen to them from your computer. We try
to keep up with them and put up a list of them on our website: http://www.afa.org/grl/hearings/default.asp
You can tune into them by going to the appropriate committee website. We just wanted to make sure you were aware of this feature on our site.
Specifically, this past week there have been three
hearings on the request by the Administration to increase TRICARE fees,
deductibles, and means test the benefit. The best summary of the most
recent hearing comes from Senator Webb's office. You can find his
press release here: http://webb.senate.gov/newsroom/pressreleases/2012-03-28-02.cfm
Similarly, there have been hearings in
the House -- in the HASC and a combined VA House and Senate Hearing. AFA attended all these hearings and
helped with the Military Coalition in their testimony. (Just wanted to keep you afloat on what AFA sitings on the Hill.)
