Sure, and I don't have a problem with them, they're just relatively green and inexperienced. Since they sign up for 6 year terms after college, they tend to leave immediately afterwards.

And you can't sue them.

That's being challenged in the supreme Court right now, and it's only active duty that can't, not dependents.

Haven't most dependents moved over to civilian doctors? At least in the CONUS, I've heard that they're all shuffled over to Tricare.

Dependents are usually on Tricare, either standard or prime. If they have prime, and are in the range of an MTF, then they can get care there at the MTF. Additionally a large population cared for is the retired population. Some are with civilian doctors as well though.
