TriCare Prime for All is a single-payer, universal healthcare system modeled on TRICARE Prime — the system that already provides comprehensive care to active-duty service members and their families.
If this model is strong enough to protect those who defend the United States, it should be the baseline for every person who calls this country home.
No co-pays. No deductibles. No medical bills.
Just healthcare — because the strength of the United States comes from its people.
TriCare Prime for All would operate as a wholly single-payer system. Every American would be automatically enrolled, with care delivered through a nationwide network of public and private providers.
Under this plan:
There are zero co-pays, zero deductibles, and zero surprise bills
Every person has access to a primary care provider
Specialty care is available through coordinated referrals
Preventive care is emphasized to keep people healthy, not just treated when they are sick
Healthcare becomes a public service — not a financial gamble.
Any healthcare facility that receives federal funding would be required to participate in the $0 deductible TriCare Prime for All option.
This ensures that public dollars are used to deliver public benefit, not to subsidize cost-shifting, billing complexity, or profit-driven denial of care.
Hospitals, clinics, and providers that accept federal funds must serve the public under the same zero-cost rules — because taxpayer money should guarantee access, not paperwork and debt.
Medicare was designed decades ago for seniors and later expanded in fragmented ways. It still relies on:
Deductibles and co-insurance
Multiple “Parts” and private intermediaries
Supplemental insurance to fill coverage gaps
TriCare Prime for All is different.
TRICARE Prime is already a fully integrated, single-payer system designed to serve families, working adults, and children — with minimal administrative overhead and no financial barriers at the point of care.
Rather than adapting a senior-focused program, TriCare Prime for All scales a proven national readiness model to the entire population.
Healthcare is not only a human right — it is a national security concern.
A nation cannot be strong if its people are:
Avoiding doctors because of cost
Bankrupted by medical bills
Living with untreated chronic or mental health conditions
Losing housing, employment, or stability due to illness
A healthy population strengthens:
The workforce
Military readiness
Economic stability
Disaster response and resilience
TriCare Prime for All treats healthcare as essential infrastructure — as fundamental to national strength as roads, clean water, or electricity.
TriCare Prime for All delivers what Americans deserve:
Universal coverage
Zero out-of-pocket costs
Simpler administration
Stronger families
A stronger nation
No co-pays. No deductibles. No bills.
Just healthcare — because the health of the people is the strength of the United States.
