Read The Bill: H.R. 4923 - GovTrack.us

The TRICARE Dependent Coverage Extension Act (H.R. 4923), would require Defense to provide a key benefit created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act President Obama signed into law on Tuesday. That law allows parents to keep dependent children on family health insurance plans up to age 26.
TRICARE is governed by Title 10 of the U.S. Code and is not affected by the new health care law. H.R. 4923 would amend Title 10 to reflect the new requirement, which would take effect Oct. 1.
