Shutdown-Tricare question

If the government does shut down, does this affect our TriCare if we don't live near a base? We have TriCare Prime Remote

Tricare is going to make an announcement later today as to what is and isn't going to be available during a shutdown.  If I see it I'll definitely post it.

ETA:  Right now the only information I've come across regarding Tricare is that MTFs will be open for emergency care.

Okay, thank you! I am due in basically 3 weeks so that has me worried!

This is straight from TriWest's website:

• Important Beneficiary Update: In the event of a federal government shutdown, your health care will continue uninterrupted.  

So your health care should not be affected at all.
