Do Not Dismantle Military Medicine

The readiness and effectiveness of America’s armed forces demand a full complement of well-trained medical professionals. But the Defense Department’s fiscal 2020 budget would eliminate roughly 20 percent of military medical positions, along with other reorganization measures. This shortsighted “reform” effort could have drastic, even deadly, consequences—on the battlefield and throughout American health care.
Ensure Safe Housing For Military Families

When military families face health threats in their homes, it can be harder for servicemembers to focus on their mission. Congress is considering legislation to address health threats in base housing—by remediating environmental hazards, establishing strong tenants’ rights procedures, and restoring proper oversight of construction and maintenance contractors.
Let's Put an End to the Widows Tax

The House version of the annual defense bill contains a provision to end what's commonly referred to as the widows tax.
Act Now to Help Veteran Caregivers

The Transparency and Effective Accountability Measures (TEAM) for Veteran Caregivers Act improves the veterans caregiver program by ensuring all caregivers are included in the veterans’ medical records, establishing a minimum standard of information in downgrade notification letters, and extending benefits for at least 90 days after a termination letter is sent for cases where a veteran is deemed “no longer clinically eligible” for the program.
