From the executive summary: "The Department of Defense (DoD) provides a comprehensive health benefit (TRICARE) to military members, their families, and military retiree families. This TRICARE program is an important element of military compensation, but has challenges with cost to the government and beneficiary satisfaction. TRICARE beneficiaries use significantly more healthcare than demographically similar families with private insurance and have higher costs. TRICARE also has significantly smaller provider networks; consequently, beneficiaries have less access than federal civilians under typical health plans offered to them, leading to lower beneficiary satisfaction."
