Petition Update: Our Story Is Now Published in The Havok Journal
Thank you to everyone who has signed, shared, commented, and helped keep this effort moving.
We are currently at 267 verified signatures and pushing toward the next goal of 500 signatures.
But this update is about more than the number.
Our story has now been published in The Havok Journal, a military and veteran platform, under the title:
TRICARE Stops Short in Puerto Rico
Article:
https://havokjournal.com/veterans-3/tricare-stops-short-in-puerto-rico/
This matters because the issue is no longer just being discussed in small circles, private messages, or local posts. It is now being placed in front of a broader military and veteran audience.
The article explains what many Puerto Rico military retirees and families already know:
TRICARE may exist on paper, but for too many families on the island, it does not work reliably in real life.
Veterans may receive care through the VA, but spouses, children, and dependents often rely on TRICARE. When families cannot find providers, face billing confusion, pay up front, wait months for reimbursement, or struggle to access specialists, the whole family feels it.
This is not about asking for special treatment.
It is about equal access to a benefit earned through military service.
The signatures, comments, and personal stories being shared through this petition help show that this is not an isolated complaint. It is a real pattern affecting military families in Puerto Rico.
Please read the article, sign the petition, and share both with your networks.
Your signature helps.
Your share reaches another family.
Your story gives this effort power.
Your voice helps move this beyond local noise and into the larger military and congressional conversation.
