We passed 100 signatures. Thank you to everyone who has signed and shared. That is a meaningful start, but we need a lot more. Please help us push this beyond Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico does not have a voting representative in Congress. That means issues affecting military retirees and families on the island often need support from people in the states to reach the offices that can actually move policy forward. That is why we need this petition to travel beyond our beaches. This petition is meant to urge Congress to improve TRICARE access and support for military retirees and their families living in Puerto Rico. This may also matter for Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and other U.S. territories facing similar healthcare access challenges. This is not just a Puerto Rico issue. It is a federal military healthcare issue. If you are able, please call or write your representative in Congress. But at the very least, please sign and share this petition with your networks, friends, and families. You do not have to post it publicly. A private message, Messenger, WhatsApp, text, email, group chat, public post, or private share can all help. Without a much higher number of signatures, this risks being dismissed as local noise. With enough support, it becomes a conversation Congress cannot ignore. Please sign and share: https://www.change.org/p/equal-tricare-access-for-puerto-rico-military-retirees-and-families
