Military Health Benefits are bad now

Glendora Claybrooks, (Ph.D. Candidate, GCPM, MHA, “The Development of a Single-Payer Universal Healthcare Delivery System”, https://www.oregon.gov/oha/HPA/HP/TFUHC%20Meeting%20Documents/Development%20Single%20Payer%20HCD%20System%20Final%20revision%205%20Read%20Only.pdf)

In developing the Single-payer Healthcare Delivery System, the focus must not only be on the previous failed efforts, health interventions, and unequal and disparaging outcomes of the current system. We must focus on the processes of the existing healthcare systems fragmented, complex, and multi-payer structures and their impacts. We must also consider how services are aligned and distributed as well as who and who does not benefit. In analyzing our present model, it is essential to understand its underlying power and structures. In the United States, the tri-economy structures—non-profit, private, and public entities—comprise our economic system that governs our communal affairs. These structures function within the financial policy guidelines to produce goods and services, all of which encompass providing health insurance coverage, upon which we heavily rely. However, our economic system comprises several types of government-sponsored healthcare coverage for the unemployed, the disabled, the elderly, the military, and the federally defined poor populations. These health plans are known as Medicaid, Medicare, and Tricare, which provide limited medical services. Each serves a specific community. Each has its own set of internal and external challenges built into its policies and practices, which influences the delivery of services, patient outcomes, health status, 4 and patient satisfaction levels. Military Tricare plans are exclusive memberships designed only for military individuals and their families and managed by veteran administrators. Its challenges present themselves as patient grievances involving untimely services, long waiting periods, misleading information, administrative errors, and patient delays in processing authorization referrals. Patients also complain about problems and concerns around the poor quality of care services, reflecting staff and providers' behavior and attitudes, patient safety, improper care, insufficient care, and poor results.
