    Another fine example of the military HMO Tri-Care(aka Try Getting Care).
    
    Data Stolen On 550,000 Tricare Beneficiaries In 16 States
    
    Enrollment and claim files of 550,000 Tricare beneficiaries
    across the 16-state Central Region of the military's managed
    care network have been stolen, officials announced Dec. 23.
    Missing are computer hard drives with names, addresses,
    phone numbers, Social Security numbers, claims data and other
    information on every beneficiary enrolled in the program
    through TriWest Healthcare Alliance Corp., the managed care
    support contractor for the Central Region.
