civilians? "Why does Military personnel receive high/higher quality healthcare than regular civilians?"

~This is a question I need answered for class. Serious answers only please :-)

Thanks in advance~
 
Because half of the doctors treating soldiers are soldiers or retirees. Soldiers take care of Soldiers. that's all! And some things do take a REALLY long time to get taken care of, like my husbands torn rotator cuff, you have to go to a clinic and get on profile like 5 times before they'll set you up to get a scan or anything.


ALSO the job of being a soldier entails many and potentially serious injuries. It's part of the job, with the physical demands, so they HAVE to have good healthcare.
 
OK...sounds like your teacher has some kind of socialist agenda, and is using this class assignment to prove his/her point.

Military have great health care, that is true. But it is not necesssarily true that military have "high/higher quality" health care than regular civilians. For an example, look at recent events at Walter Reed. Now, that is not the case with all military health care, but it simply cannot be stated in an absolute manner that the care is in fact "high/higher" quality.

Second, plenty of civilians have the best health care in the world right here in the US...if they can afford it (via paying cash or having great health insurance).
