You get what you pay for when it comes to Health Insurance. I use to have TRICARE, but living in a less populated region a lot of facilities/specialists DO NOT accept cheap government insurance. UHC has never said no to any of the treatment options offered to us. I have seen the welfare kids unfortunately (same contract as TRICARE) whisked out of here prematurely in my opinion. This $85k plus hospital visit will cost us 2k out of pocket plus premiums. IMO a small price to pay.
