This federal health care program has almost 9.5 million members worldwide. It covers active duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members, and military retirees. Tricare also serves the families of armed-service members, survivors, certain former spouses and others registered in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) (for family members and dependents). People who have Tricare coverage do meet the individual mandate requirement. People who lose Tricare coverage eligibility generally can move into the exchanges.
