IMO, if the Villages Health System decided to accept every insurance plan EXCEPT Tricare/Tricare4Life, these complaints would be appropriate. But that is not what happened. They have a model that provides doctors and patients with more time. Other systems have reduced appointment times to get as many patients in as possible to offset the reduction in reimbursement rates. Plus, they grandfathered in those with Tricare4Life who were already in the system, at least for 2016.
