To amend title 10, United States Code, to improve the TRICARE program for certain members of the Retired Reserve of the reserve components.

# HR 7667 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill aims to improve TRICARE health insurance benefits for members of the Retired Reserve—military personnel who have retired from the Reserve components (National Guard and Reserve forces). TRICARE is the military's health insurance program. The specific improvements aren't detailed in the available information, but the bill intends to expand or enhance coverage or eligibility for this particular group of retired service members. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects retired Reserve members and their families who use TRICARE. This includes former members of the Army Reserve, Navy Reserve, Air Force Reserve, and similar units who have completed their service but remain in a retired status.

Any changes to TRICARE could also have budgetary implications for the Department of Defense. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Rep. Jefferson Van Drew (R-NJ) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. Additional legislative details about the specific provisions would become available if the bill moves forward in the legislative process.
