5. I agree the 6 year service requirement is good but vets definitely have real "skin in the game."

And yes, unfortunately in the current environment the insurance companies would howl about being cut out of so many paying customers. God, I hate health insurance companies and their bean counters in this country. When my daughter was a teenager her surgery was cancelled by the insurance company the day before it was scheduled because the bean counter on final evaluation before signing off on it decided the term "congenital" meant she was born with the condition and the surgery should be the responsibility of the previous health insurance company. It took a few weeks to straighten that out and reschedule the surgery. After all the years I had paid into that plan!! I think the only people who have glowing reports of their company's "great health plan" are those who have never needed it. Even some of the ones who have no "real" trouble have complaints because some payments got messed up and the time and angst needed to straighten things out.
