Summary
This bill would allow retired federal civilian employees and military veterans to pay their health insurance premiums using pre-tax dollars, reducing their overall taxable income. Additionally, it creates a tax deduction for premiums paid toward TRICARE supplemental insurance, which covers costs not met by standard military health benefits.
