AI Summary
This bill, the Healthcare for Our Troops Act, amends Title 10 of the United States Code to eliminate certain health care charges for members of the Selected Reserve who are eligible for TRICARE Reserve Select, the health care program for reserve component members. Specifically, the bill provides that members of the Selected Reserve will not have to pay premiums for individual TRICARE Reserve Select coverage, though they will have to pay premiums for family coverage. The bill also requires the Secretary of Defense to develop standardized forms for civilian health care providers to use when treating members of the Selected Reserve and to conduct a study on phasing out mass medical events and periodic health assessments for these members in favor of the new TRICARE Reserve Select coverage model.
