Summary:

Policymakers and analysts have raised concerns about DoD's rising health care costs, the quality of care provided at its facilities, and how well the department's medical establishment prepares for wartime missions. Efforts to change the system are complicated, however, partly because the resources used to accomplish the various goals are often intermingled or unclear. For this report, the Congressional Budget Office examined several broad, illustrative approaches that might address policymakers' concerns. In addition, the agency estimated the costs of two options that have been proposed specifically to make changes to TRICARE.
