Military medicine is socialized medicine. Pretty good at taking care of young troops or wounded warriors, not so good with dependents or retirees.
Tricare Standard works well for me.
I have to say, I’m a retiree’s wife, he died in ‘08 and I of course still have my ID and coverage. They’ve done a FANTASTIC job of covering my care, which includes two different cancers, surgeries, chemotherapies, radiation.
Many, many hundreds of thousands of dollars in care. They’ve never turned me down for anything I’ve needed. I’ve had PET scans and CT scans and X rays and biopsies. The list is endless.
