Summary

This bill amends the military health law to expand eligibility and improve coverage under the TRICARE Young Adult Program, which provides health insurance to military dependents. The bill removes an age or other eligibility restriction that previously limited coverage and eliminates the requirement that young adults pay a separate premium for this coverage. The changes establish more inclusive dependent coverage under the military health system.
