IN THE JOURNAL

NEW ISSUE:
MILITARY HEALTH SYSTEMS

As the Military Health System (MHS) goes through a major restructuring,
it also faces pressures and opportunities similar to the civilian
sector. The August issue of Health Affairs examines the health systems
that serve 1.4 million active duty service members; provide insurance
coverage for another 8 million reservists, retirees, and family members;
and provide care for 9 million veterans.

This issue was supported by the Uniformed Services University of the
Health Sciences and the New York State Health Foundation.

Read the August 2019 table of contents
and listen to a
two-minute introduction to the issue from Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil.
