The “MISSION Rx Act” (H.R. 8667) addresses a growing healthcare affordability issue affecting servicemembers, military retirees, veterans, and their families. While Medicare beneficiaries now benefit from federally negotiated lower prescription drug prices, many TRICARE and VA beneficiaries are still paying higher out-of-pocket costs for the same medications. This disparity places an unnecessary financial burden on military families and retirees living on fixed incomes, particularly those managing chronic or service-connected health conditions.

The Fleet Reserve Association supports the MISSION Rx Act because it would extend negotiated prescription drug pricing protections to TRICARE and VA beneficiaries, helping reduce medication costs and improve access to care for the military community. Your voice can help ensure Congress includes military and veteran families in federal healthcare cost-saving reforms. Please contact your Representative and ask them to support the MISSION Rx Act.
