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.
Support the House defense bill

Congress is set to vote on the National Defense Authorization Act, a must-pass piece of legislation. Act now to tell your elected officials to approve the bill.
