Which insurance plan provides coverage to active-duty military personnel?

1. Medicaid

2. Tricare

3. AARP

4. Medicare

The correct answer is: Tricare

Tricare is the insurance plan specifically designed to provide comprehensive health coverage for active-duty military personnel, as well as their families and retirees. It offers a range of benefits that encompass medical, dental, and mental health services, tailored for the unique needs of military families. Tricare aims to ensure that those who serve in the military receive adequate care and support during and after their service. Other options, while they may provide important coverage in different contexts, do not apply to active-duty military personnel. Medicaid is a state and federal program primarily designed for low-income individuals and families. AARP is an organization focused on issues affecting older adults and does not serve as an insurance provider for military personnel. Medicare, on the other hand, is a federal program designed mainly for individuals over the age of 65 or those with specific disabilities, and it does not cater to the active-duty military population.
