Restructuring Military Medical Care

Abstract

This paper, prepared at the request of the House Committee on National Security, examines the way in which the military medical system trains for wartime and the extent to which providing peacetime care contributes to that mission. The paper also analyzes the department's ability to offer peacetime health care cost-effectively. A number of alternative ways of performing the wartime mission and providing health care to eligible military beneficiaries are examined in this paper. But in keeping with the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO's) mandate to provide objective analysis, it makes no recommendations.
