I don't know what your point is by posting all this Tricare stuff. I live it in first person.

In the Dallas area doctor's don't accept new Tricare patients, if they take them at all. I can drive 30 miles and get a doctor for me, but I can't even do that for my wife and children

You might as well tell me that moon rocks sell for over a million dollars an ounce, and show me the moon in the sky.

Veterans can't benefit from healthcare if it's not available in their area, and for about 50% of them, it's not available because Tricare only pays about 30 cents on the dollar for doctors fees.

Whent the "promise" was made I assume most people didn't have coverage for doctors, only major medical. When I was a kid 30 years ago my mom worked for a GP and no one had insurance for his services. Assuming that the promise made applied to all medical including dental is a stretch isn't it ?
