I am not complaining, just stating the facts about TRICARE. What I meant to say, now that I re-read my post, was that TRICARE considered the fees exhorbitant , so I understand your ire. I have talked to TRICARE, Congress critters, and folks in the medical profession. My point is only that we were promised health care when we entered the service as part of our compensation package. With the exception of TMCs run by SF folks, most of our dependents have dealt with what essentially was socialized medicine. I have no problem with medical professionals charging what they are due nor do I have any problem with them making a buck. The problem lies with DOD as they consider most of us as irritants to their budgeting process once we retire. I hope you didn't take my observation personally, even some of my best friends are physicians
