Turns out, it was just another “error”.

quote:

"As a survivor of COVID-19, it's safe to donate whole blood or blood plasma, and your donation could help other COVID-19 patients. Your plasma likely has antibodies (or proteins) present that might help fight the coronavirus infection. Currently, there is no cure for COVID-19. However, there is information that suggests plasma from COVID-19 survivors, like you, might help some patients recover more quickly from COVID-19," the email stated.

Six hours later, Humana issued a mea culpa.

"In an attempt to educate beneficiaries who live close to convalescent plasma donation centers about collection opportunities, you received an email incorrectly suggesting you were a COVID-19 survivor. You have not been identified as a COVID-19 survivor and we apologize for the error and any confusion it may have caused," the company wrote.

Member when Tricare was the shining example of what they wanted HillaryCare and ObamaCare to be?

The Soldiers involved in the nursing home disinfecting teams don't qualify for TAMP btw. So if any further complications occur after their de-mobilization, they're not covered under Tricare Prime.

Any reported errors in the other direction? I haven't seen any. Seems like mistakes, whether in the press, coronavirus testing, ballot counting, always seem to support one ideology.

Every day. The odds of it happening on accident has to be staggering.

Not to defend Tricare, but of the 3 options:

1. Active duty military care

2. VA

3. Tricare

Tricare is WAY better, because it is just another "insurance" carrier - like BC/BS, United, Aetna, etc. Obviously, it is a flawed bureaucratic machine like many such entities are.
