Yet the VA outranks the capitalist system when it comes to patient satisfaction.


I'd venture to guess that most of those rankings come from retires who have only had Tricare their entire adult lives and don't know there's better coverage out there. I've seen it with people here at Fort Gordon who don't know how bad their system is until they're either 1) out, or 2) they get to go to a civilian doctor for something.

They don't know how bad they have it, so they think they're satisfied.

The fact of the matter is they ARE satisfied and that means a lot more to me than anecdotes on this message board.

I'd venture to guess that you are unaware that tricare sends you to civilian doctors. Tricare isn't the Army hosptial at Ft Gordon. I'd also venture to guess you are the type of dumb arse conservative that thinks they know better what is good for people than those people know for themselves.
