Broken promises: Your health care costs could triple.

The president's budget, released in February, proposes sharp cost increases for servicemembers and their families — including a 300% increase in the price of the health care benefits you were promised.

At MOAA, we're standing up for you to make sure those promises are honored.

With 370,000 members, we're the nation's largest and most influential association of military officers — consistently recognized as "the best in the business" among military and veteran lobbying associations.

We're fighting this battle for you and the entire military community. But we need your voice. Join MOAA today, then use our simple online tools to contact Congress.

5 reasons you should worry.

1. The president's budget has proposed large and unfair increases to the cost of your health care benefits.
2. The budget proposes a special commission responsible for recommending changes in the military retirement system for future entrants.
3. The budget intends to severely limit future military pay raises.
4. The bottom line? Your health care costs could increase by more than 300% in just five years.
5. The biggest reason you should worry is that your defense and service leaders can't stand in the way of Congress or the administration as they attempt to cut your pay and benefits.

These threats are the most serious in decades.

Add your voice to MOAA's 370,000 members, and help fight cuts that unfairly penalize those who already have sacrificed so much for America. Join us today.

A $51 Billion Health Care Hike.

The White House released its latest budget proposal in February, and the details are alarming. All told, TRICARE fee proposals will involve shifting $51 billion in health care costs from the Pentagon to retirees over the next 10 years.

These changes would result in significant fee hikes for nearly every segment of the military population, including retirees of all ages, guardmembers and reservists, and currently serving family members.

You can help fight these changes and continue to receive the benefits you were promised. Join MOAA and add your own voice to the struggle for fair treatment — for you and others who bear the burden of serving our nation.

Why it's important to join MOAA.

The threats to your benefits and pay are real, and they are happening now. Their intent: to make military retirement and health care more like civilian plans.

To MOAA, these are fighting words that ignore the burdensome premiums that career military people and their families must pay — up front, through decades of extraordinary service and sacrifice — to earn their retirement and health care package.

We're fighting this battle for you and the entire military community — officer, enlisted, Guard/Reserve, retired, family members, and survivors.

But we can't do it without you. Join MOAA today, and add your voice to our legislative clout.
