SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Memorializing Congress; health care for military retirees. Memorializes Congress to pass "The Keep Our Promise to America's Military Retirees Act." The Act fulfills the broken promise to retirees who entered the uniformed services prior to June 7, 1956, by extending to them coverage under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), with the government contribution for health benefits being 100 percent. In addition, the Act reestablishes adequate health care to all military retirees by allowing them to participate in the FEHBP program.
