Huh ... I do Tricare Prime and have never had any issues at all.
My wife is fine now (7 yrs cancer free!), but when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease she got great care, and she was even assigned a nurse case manager who we could call anytime. The case manager was particularly helpful when we got bills from the hospital for tens of thousands of dollars -- my phone calls to the hospital accomplished nothing, but the problem quickly went away when I involved the nurse case manager.
No issues here so far with Tricare. YMMV.
