Petition Update: We Passed 200 Signatures We have reached 235 verified signatures, with 96 people signing this week, and the next goal is now 500 signatures. This matters because the numbers are going up for a reason: People are starting to tell the truth about what TRICARE access looks like in Puerto Rico in real life. This is no longer just one family’s frustration. The comments and messages being shared are showing a pattern. Military retirees and families are describing the same problems over and over: * Providers who do not accept TRICARE * Offices that do not know how to bill it properly * Very limited specialist availability * Families being asked to pay up front * Long and confusing reimbursement processes * Claims being delayed or denied * Families forced to rely on private insurance instead * Dependents struggling to get care while the veteran may receive care through the VA These are not small inconveniences. These are healthcare access barriers affecting spouses, children, dependents, retirees, and families who earned these benefits through military service. This is exactly why the petition matters. The veteran may receive care through the VA, but many spouses, children, and dependents rely on TRICARE. When TRICARE does not work properly in Puerto Rico, the whole family feels it. Your signature matters because it shows support. Your share matters because it reaches more families. Your story matters because it proves this is a real and widespread issue, not just an isolated complaint. If you have experienced problems using TRICARE in Puerto Rico, please leave a comment on the petition or message me privately. I will not share your name, private medical details, or identifying information without permission. Please continue to sign, share, and tell your story. We passed 200. Now we push toward 500.
