Cuts May Affect Medical Access on Military Bases
Cost-cutting measures in the military health system's proposed fiscal budget 2008 could mean cut in hours at some on-base clinics and longer lines in the waiting room, and could push some families off-base for medical specialists, according to the services ' top medical officials.

"Our cuts will be equivalent to losing one of our large family-practice hospitals," Navy Surgeon Vice Adm. Donald Arthur told members of the House armed services subcommittee Tuesday. We will have to have serious conversations about what services we can provide.

Ok I did Veterans Troops and Now Military Families I need a drink! Yikes we support the troops, veterans and our families Bullshit
