Being in the military for 18 years now I can say the healthcare I have received has been pretty good. The military system has some problems and many inefficiencies but for the most part I can't complain. My family receives their care through the government plan called Tricare. We have chosen a plan that allows her and my son to be seen by private doctors that accept tricare. We pay more out of pocket then those that choose to use the military hospital, but the care she receive is excellent. Personally, I think the military needs its own system to allow for flexibility and for training doctors that forward deploy to combat zones. I believe it should be limited to active duty and activated reserve and guard only. Families and retirees should be seen by private doctors.

Regardless of how I feel about his policies I do not believe in disrespecting anyone, and by publicly ignoring his handshake shows a sign of disrespect in my opinion. I would shake his hand but voice my opinions if asked.
