Congressional Budget Office Says Military Health Care Costs Could Soar
The Washington Post; subscription may be required Link to more items from this source
July 16, 2012
"Active and retired service personnel and their families are increasing their use of the military health care system at a faster rate than civilians enrolled in comparable private health programs, according to a report by the Congressional Budget Office. As a result, the annual cost to the Defense Department's health care program could grow from $51 billion in fiscal 2013 to $65 billion by 2017 and $90 billion by 2030 ... [A]ccording to the CBO projections, the Defense Department, which will pay out 9 percent of its base budget for health care in fiscal 2013, would be paying out 14 percent in 2030, roughly equivalent to what it spends today on all military research and development programs."
