Curious how old you are, OP?  Over 55?

Also, Tricare will require you to pay for Medicare Part B when you turn 65.  At that point, Tricare turns into "Tricare for Life" which is essentially a Medicare Supplement plan.

How far from 65 are you?  Does your "faux-fiance" have health insurance that would cover you?  Why are you wanting to keep Tricare for the future?[/quote]

I'm 56.  I have separate health insurance through my employer.  I would use Tricare for Life once eligible for Medicare.  In addition, there are benefits overseas if I were to decide to live overseas.[/quote]

Are you seriously planning to live overseas when you are 65 or older?  It seems like that is the only benefit you are getting for the cost of not marrying.  Maybe marrying doesn't mean that much to you.  That's fine.  For some people, the legal benefits of being married (Soc. Sec., inheritance, owning property, authority to make decisions, just wanting to be married) would carry more weight than the possibility of having health coverage 9 yrs in the future IF you decide to live internationally for awhile.  You have to weigh what it is worth and how likely it is that you are going to live internationally.  [/quote]
