S2448119th CongressWALLET

Health Care Fairness for Military Families Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Senator Sen. Kelly, Mark [D-AZ]

Introduced

Summary

Expands TRICARE Young Adult eligibility and eliminates the separate young adult premium. This bill would widen who can enroll as a TRICARE Young Adult and fold that coverage into a single premium framework, and it updates cross-references in existing law to match those changes.

Show full summary
  • Military families and young adult dependents: More young adult dependents could qualify for TRICARE Young Adult coverage, letting more families keep health benefits for older children.
  • Costs for dependents: Young adult dependents would no longer pay a distinct TRICARE Young Adult premium; their coverage would be included in the general premium structure.
  • Legal and administrative alignment: A conforming amendment removes section 1110b from a cross-reference in section 1075 so statutory citations reflect the new eligibility and premium setup.
