Options for Change in Military Medical Care

Abstract

The Department of Defense supplies medical benefits to almost 10 million eligible beneficiaries, at an annual cost exceeding $5 billion. In recent years, several studies have proposed changes in military medical care. This report, prepared at the request of the Subcommittee on Military Personnel and Compensation of the House Committee on Armed Services, discusses options for changing the military medical program that could reduce costs and possibly improve aspects of service. In keeping with the mandate of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to provide objective and impartial analysis, this study offers no recommendations.
