My wife and I are both on Medicare and Tri-Care for life. I am a diabetic, she has serious heart problems. We have been here since May, had all of our prescriptions filled with a 90 day supply before we left Ohio and have had absolutely zero problems. Granted the facilities and staff we have encountered were not what we left, but so what, times and places change and we've adapted. I am awaiting the new VA facility to open and I will probably rely on them for some of my care, but that has not been an issue yet, though I am scheduled to see an opthamologist for my diabetic retinopathy, which I relied on the VA for previously. I think Tri-Care Dental is a bit expensive and we have not made that transition yet, so we'll see how that goes. I see local firms I have dealt with in Ohio, so anticipate that being transparent as well. In my opinion the combination of Medicare and Tr-Care is about as good as it gets and I'm not considering additional supplemental insurance such as AARP and the like.
I was in the Villages Regional Hospital a year ago (signed my sales contract while a patient) and that experience was not a completely positive one, but having had the experience I won't let there be a re-occurence.
That's my 2 cents.
