Universal Health Care: Effects on Military Systems in Other Countries and the United States

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on how universal health care has affected other countries' military health care systems and identified the implications of universal health care for the U.S. military health care system, focusing on: (1) the major similarities and differences between the U.S. military health care system and the systems of Australia, Canada, Finland, and the United Kingdom; and (2) how eligibility for military health care in the four countries compares to that in the United States.
