Each one of our 5 children was born at a different duty station and we NEVER shared an ultrasound room or a delivery room. I was even able to use midwives and they personally delivered each child. I get same day appointments and love the fact all my prescriptions are filled at no charge. One of our 5 children has severe special needs and she has been a top priority at every military facility we have come in contact with. I think the writer of this is bitter and has some major issues that must spill over into several areas of her life. I am so thankful everyday for the benefits the military has provided us I was shocked when I read this…we have been in the military for over 20 years and have had nothing but excellent care.

I've been a Marine wife for 20 years and I love my military health care. I can call and get an appointment same day, if needed. Within 5 minutes of signing in, a Corpman is taking my stats and escorting me to the exam room. Not could I get prescriptions filled at no charge, I can also get a variety of OTC strength medicine as well with a script from my PCP. My PCP even accepts my decision not to take prescription drugs and works with me to find herbal and alternative solutions to all my medical issues. Granted, I've never had a baby; but I have been hospitalized and I've even had to go through a long period of physical therapy for a shoulder injury. I can't say enough good things about the naval medical care that I have received at both Camp Pendleton and 29 Palms.

The facility that I go to is one of the best in the country, but the doctors come from all over the world. American doctors do not want to work for so little except during their training and after their retirement. So most of the doctors we deal with speak English with thick whatever languages they have. But, I can get good care but it is the administration of the care that gets messed up some times.

One learns to play telephone tag with first the the nurse before the doctor in order to make an appointment with the doctor who may or may not speak English some what. Hopefully, your nurse does. Let's hear it for serving your country. I have been going to the VA for quite a while now.
