Military Health Care: The Issue of “Promised” Benefits
Description:
In the debate over the Department of Defense policy on military health care benefits, many
military personnel and retirees say that they were promised “free health care for life” when
they entered the armed forces. What benefits are available and who is eligible to receive these
benefits are matters determined by Congress. This report discusses the issue of “promises”
of lifetime health care benefits made to military retirees.
