Just getting caught up with my weekly mail and just read a letter from the Hospital Commander at Holloman AFB. He was writing to inform us that as of 31 Dec 2026 Tricare for Life and medicare retired members will no longer be seen at the base facility. They will have to start going to civilian doctors in the area. This means that most people will have to travel between 60-100 miles to see a doctor. Our small community does not have enough doctors for all these new people. According to the base, the current administration is cutting budgets and does not have enough doctors to man positions at this facility. Also active duty is being sent to downtown doctors also., especially women who are pregnant and doctors for children. We can still use the pharmacy for our perscriptions but that is also slated to change and some medications currently carried might get dropped and have to be filled downtown also. I am sorry I spent 23 years in the military and was promised to be taken care of. This is a disgrace to the men and women that served. I am sure people that use the VA will also be affected in the future. At least I was smart enough to get away from the base and all my doctors are downtown providers. I can see where all this is going and I would never suggest a young person to serve in our military--they don't keep their word.
