As lawmakers in Washington continue to clash over how to reduce the federal deficit, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) has his eye on the military health care system Tricare. 

The Washington Post reports that Coburn wants to make retired, uninjured soldiers and their dependents pay more for health care, including increasing co-payments and the cost of prescription drugs. 

This isn’t the first time cuts to Tricare have been pitched as a way to save money. The newspaper reports that former Defense Secretary Robert Gates proposed raising the price of family enrollment in Tricare from $460 per year to $520 per year.

Coburn’s plan would entail a much steeper increase, and make the cost of enrollment in the program comparable to private-sector health plans.
