Jansen.Many military health care beneficiaries, particularly military retirees, their dependents, and those representing their interests, state that they were promised free health care for life at military facilities as part of their contractual agreement when they entered the armed forces. Efforts to locate authoritative documentation of such promises have not been successful. Congressional report language and recent court decisions have rejected retiree claims seeking 'free care at military facilities' as a right or entitlement. These have stated that the medical benefit structure made up of military health care facilities, Tricare and Medicare currently provide lifetime health care to military members, retirees and their respective dependents. Nevertheless, claims continue to be made, particularly by those seeking additional benefits from the Department of Defense, or attempting to prevent an actual or perceived reduction in benefits.Novinka (Series)VeteransMedical careUnited StatesManaged care plans (Medical care)United StatesUnited StatesArmed ForcesMedical careUnited StatesArmed ForcesMedical careLaw and legislationVeteransMedical careManaged care plans (Medical care)355.3/450973Bernstein Linda F1869953Constable Sarah W1869954MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959318103321Military medical care4478250UNINA
