But deputies found nothing suspicious, and the callers conceded the family may have taken a vacation. On Sunday, two brothers forced their way into the house, only to discover the bodies. Giudice said neither homicide nor suicide had been ruled out, but she stressed that the community was not in danger and no suspects were being sought.

Meanwhile', civilian doctors and psychiatrists say they're often faced with tough decisions about whether to turn away patients on Tricare, the Defense Department program that insures 9.2 million current and former service members and their dependents, because its reimbursement rates are low and its claims process is cumbersome. Others volunteer their time and services rather than navigate Tricare's red tape for what may ultimately prove to be a small reimbursement for services. "We do have a lot of doctors who are seeing Tricare patients almost on a pro bono basis because they care and for the love of their country. But it's easier to do MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS WASHINGTON Across America, soldiers, veterans and their families are running into red tape and roadblocks when they try to use their military insurance to get treatment for ailments such as post traumatic stress disorder.

"It doesn't sit well with me to have to turn away people who have served our country, but it's an economic reality.
