SJ 125 Memorializing Congress; health care benefits for military.

Introduced by: Edward L. Schrock | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health care benefits for active duty and retired military personnel. Urges Congress to restore full health care service benefits to active duty and military retirees. In 1995, federal legislation was enacted that eliminated the right to free, quality, lifetime medical care to persons in the military who serve 20 years or more. Due to the elimination of this guarantee and the closing and downsizing of numerous military medical facilities, military retirees on a fixed income, in particular, have difficulty accessing health care and cannot afford out-of-pocket costs for medical services and prescriptions.
