It's pretty good overall but it has its flaws. One can expect a shortage of doctors available sometimes since they have poor habits of cutting personnel that are crucially needed.

The worst thing is lack of choice in what doctor you wish to see.

Its good to a point. The worst part is that so many newer soldiers fake problems, so most of the doctors automatically assume that you are too.

TRICARE Prime is a pretty good insurance provider, takes good care of Soldiers and their families. However the actual doctors in the military can be hit or miss on their abilities to handle patients.

When I did become injured they did not take very good care of me. They also seemed to play games which led to me not receiving the types of benefits that would be fitting of my service and injury.

Its not bad, obviously not comparable to civilian plans, but for soldiers who otherwise could never afford anything as comprehensive as this, its not bad at all
