I have had a lot of friends experience poor outcomes from the miltiary health care system, and avoided a career-ending, life-altering (and unnecessary) surgical procedure that I declined after getting a civilian physician review of my file.

Excellent points, all. Some military health care is superior at one site, and at other sites (or even practitioners inside a good facility) stink. Unfortunately the same can be said throughout the civilian health care system (public and private). Has the appearance of being an industry-wide phenomenon. Like getting your car serviced; some places have good mechanics and some don't and you don't always get the good guy. Unfortunately, if you get a bad mechanic your greatest risk is breaking down on the side of the road, whereas if you get bad health care you may not make it to the parking lot.
