[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s because the taxpayer funds a huge portion of their expenses (housing while on base, no down payment for Va loans, the list goes on). Welfare queens to the max[/quote]

+1. Even one of Reagan's hires (Stockdale, I think his name may be) wrote a book a few years ago describing the US military as socialistic. But if you dare question it, you're labeled a "communist" or worse. DH has several retired military in his family, and when they start bragging about their free health care and whatnot at Thanksgiving, I say "you're welcome."   [/quote]

Sorry, no one is bragging about Tricare.[/quote]

Tricare is the absolute worst right now.  I have to wait 3+ months for doctor appointments.  Doctors say follow up in a month and the best I can do is 3-4 months.  Forget seeing your primary care for an emergency.  And, it takes months to get CT's/MRI's and other tests done.  And, they refuse a lot of testing or specialists because they claim it's unnecessary.  Or, worst, no one off base who is good takes tricare so if you get referred out as multiple clinics refuse patients good luck finding a competent doctor to help.  And, if the outside doctor refers you for anything, you cannot get it done on base and the co-pays and stuff have gone sky high.  I have chronic health issues and we end up paying a fortune out of pocket for doctors and medications tricare refuses.  It really sucks.

If you are healthy, tricare is fine.  If you are not, good luck.[/quote]

Same with private insurance [/quote]
