Summary:

The primary mission of the Military Health Services System (MHSS), which encompasses the Defense Department's hospitals, clinics, and medical personnel, is to maintain the health of military personnel so they can carry out their military missions, and to be prepared to deliver health care during wartime. The military medical system also provides, where space is available, health care services in Department of Defense (DOD) medical facilities to dependents of active duty service members and to retirees and their dependents. […] CHAMPUS [Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services] was originally intended to provide retirees with health care benefits from the time of their retirement, usually in their mid-40s, to the time they become eligible for Medicare at age 65. In response to concerns about growing medical costs for retirees over age 65, the FY2001 Defense Authorization Act established a program, known as Tricare for Life, to serve as a second payer to Medicare for retirees and their spouses and survivors beginning in FY2002. Congress also extended a pharmacy benefit to Medicare-eligible beneficiaries. Some retirees groups advocate opening the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) to military retirees, but an FEHBP demonstration project did not prove very popular among beneficiaries. Military health care issues are addressed in annual defense authorization and appropriations bills; for additional details and the status of current legislation, see CRS Report RL32924, 'Defense: FY2006 Authorization and Appropriations', by Stephen Daggett.
