You're RIGHT........about Tricare, at least.........

BUT you NEED to do some research to see JUST who RUNS Tricare. I know, because I work on it EVERY DAY....

Tricare is RAN by PRIVATE, for PROFIT companies.......it is outsourced by the gubment, because the can't do ANYTHING RIGHT.......

When the company I work for took it over (about 8 years ago), it was one of the WORSE ran insurance processes in our country. We took it over, got rid of the waste, added some MANAGED practices, applied STANDARD fee schedules, and saved the gubment a few BILLION dollars......IMAGINE THAT.
