Vets and Draftees Guide to Uniform Dependent Medical Care
Major Nial outlines a Defense Department proposal to standardize dependent medical care across services. Eligible dependents include spouses, children, and parents who rely on the serviceman for more than half support, plus widows and children of deceased servicemen with care in military hospitals. Care would cover diagnosis, treatment of diseases and injuries, maternity care, and immunizations but exclude domiciliary, chronic, nervous, or mental health care. limit ambulance and home visits. hearing aids and glasses only if not available elsewhere. Civilians may provide emergency or nonemergency care when military capacity is lacking, with dependents paying part of costs, except maternity care. Dental care would be emergency-focused at military posts. foreign-country care may be provided by civilian dentists when available. Private insurance contracts could be used if economical. space and manpower limit care, and servicemen’s care remains a priority.
