Pregnancy can be an exciting time. But it’s also a highly personal experience. Your maternity care choices can make a meaningful difference throughout pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum recovery. TRICARE covers a range of maternity care services and provider types. This coverage gives expecting mothers options while ensuring access to care. “Having access to different types of providers allows expectant mothers to choose the support that best fits their needs,” said Jeannine Pickrell, MS, RN, director, Population Health, TRICARE Health Plan, at the Defense Health Agency. “TRICARE coverage is designed to support safe, informed choices throughout pregnancy and postpartum care.” -
It is not VA Secretary Doug Collins maximizing choices, its the courts due diligence. In 2024, the Supreme Court ruled in Rudisill v. McDonough that Veterans with multiple qualifying periods of military service could obtain a combined 48 months of both MGIB and PGIB benefits. In January 2025, VA announced that more than 1 million Veterans potentially qualified for additional benefits under Rudisill. In 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims issued a precedential opinion in Perkins v. Collins. The Perkins ruling said Veterans with a single qualifying period of military service could obtain benefits under both PGIB and MGIB if the time-in-service requirements under both programs are met. VA estimates that the Perkins decision may enable an additional 1 million Veterans to receive up to an additional 12 months of benefits.

What started as a jovial interview between CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins – who both chuckled as the host noted he is of “no relation” to her – quickly devolved into a tense confrontation as the Trump cabinet official unleashed an all-out attack on the network. 👉 VA sec Doug Collins, you are making statements that are other than the truth - perhaps inspired by the commander-in-chief and Department of WAAH (D'oH!) head hedgehog. 👀 "The VA secretary took heat earlier this month when he lashed out at a reporter over claims her reporting was “scaring veterans.”" 👉 It is you VA sec Doug Collins, that is scaring vets by firing staff and degrading services. 👀 And I would like to know why CNN is hostile to veterans, especially one in Florida where you just had a $5 million defamation suit taking offense at a veteran who is trying to help people. In fact, one of your employees actually said, 'we're going to nail him.'" 👉 CNN is not hostile to veterans. Stop kissing trumps butt and improve the VA. That one single incident in no way is indicative of CNN being hostile to vets. In fact, read below you big dummy. 👀 Young later filed a separate defamation lawsuit against the Associated Press over their coverage of the verdict, but that case was dismissed, and he was ordered to pay AP's legal fees under Florida’s anti-SLAPP statute, according to reports from Faruki PLL and The Hollywood Reporter.

The change reflects Hegseth's wider effort to infuse the chaplaincy, and the military more broadly, with more explicitly religious sentiments.
