Episode 61: To Be or Not to Be Health Insurance, That Is the Tricare Question

August 1, 2021 by Joe Sparks

Episode 61: To Be or Not to Be Health Insurance, That Is the Tricare Question is now available on Podbean, Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and Tune In.

My guest Miryam Weisberg is a mother of two and lives in the suburbs of Washington, DC. Disabled by a rare genetic disorder, her health relies on Tricare and the military medical system, to which she has access as an earned benefit of her husband’s career as an active duty officer. Previous to becoming disabled, Miryam had a career as a technical writer and now enjoys homeschooling her children and doing needlecrafts.

Do not miss this episode as Mrs. Weisberg describes her struggles to get medical treatment for her genetic disorder, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, under the Tricare system.
