It says a lot that your family got treated that way at Hahn and you were officer dependents. I was at the MAJCOM HQ (10 minutes away from Landstuhl), but it wasn't much better there, and I was enlisted. Yes, that unfortunately makes a difference - and I seriously doubt an enlisted paycheck could even begin to cover what a German doctor would ask for in payment.
Anything in CONUS that is high profile - DC and the Baltiwash area, Texas, Denver, etc - is going to get better facilities and treatment because there are enough people who know to go to their Congressperson if things start hitting the fan. A lot of stuff can be hidden from the general American public by keeping it overseas.
