I've gotten lucky in that tricare has never given me troubles. One time they had changed programs so my coverage had been dropped but they let me pay the difference in coverage costs, and then covered my hospital bills. Pacific health for my supplemental has been pretty good

My wife used to work in the billing department of a major hospital here in Rochester and had to try and get insurance companies to pay for procedures. Some of the stories...

All insurance companies are the worst. I can't stand them. Every year is a new battle. "Depreciation"? How about "replacement cost"? They're the biggest thieving scumbuckets. The healthcare industry doesn't help by double billing and billing $120 an aspirin. The whole system is broken

It now takes 3 appointments to do what 1 appointment used to do. First appointment is just a "getting to know you", then you go in for a physical, then you go in for the results of blood work related to a physical...
Similarly, I don't get the point of homeowners insurance. I have asked about 4 different items over the years and always get the "not covered" answer. Today I said to the lady, "why is it that me trying to be responsible and preventative is punished? You make it sound like I'd be better off if my house started on fire"
Got another interview tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Exactly, they keep coming up with new ways to pay less and less. After Katrina the scam was on full display. A relative who lived 2 miles from the coast here in NE never had flooding or water damage of any sorts in the 20+ years of living there all of a sudden had to pay huge premiums for flood coverage. You couldn't even see the ocean from her house it was so far from it. On a hill to boot. They had to recoup that money somehow. Everyone else had to pay it.
good luck
My homeowners premium just doubled for my renewal and car insurance went up like 40%, now In in the process of finding new insurance.
Gahhh.... I guess I don't want to see what happens with my insurance policies in a couple of months.

Despite my complaints, I do generally like state Farm. The last time I price shopped, SF was cheaper than anyone else by over $600
I have a friend from HS that works at a local insurance broker so Ive reached out to him for quotes.

Keep that car away from me. I’m enjoying not needing to put on a coat yet
EDIT: I said far, not car, Siri. Stop trying to correct me and failing

The McKenzie brothers taught me that metric conversions are easy - just double it and add thirty.
