COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — US Sen. John Hickenlooper supports a strategy to reverse a Pentagon rule change that reduced TRICARE reimbursement to pediatric and cancer hospitals.

"If suddenly we're going to pull the rug out from under the hospitals and institutions that are providing that care, what kind of people are we?" The rule will save the Pentagon roughly $35 million annually. However, most of that cost reduction is coming at the expense of the Colorado Springs and Aurora hospitals, President of the Children's Hospital Colorado for Southern Colorado Greg Raymond said.

The hospital has not yet identified which services would be cut. Raymond said administrators want to limit the impact on local families. However, he anticipates many patients who receive specialized care in Colorado Springs will likely have to seek treatment in Aurora or fly out of state.
