The Defense Department is set to undertake a thorough review of military hospitals and medical insurance services, the American Forces Press Service reported Wednesday.
Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby expects the 90-day assessment spearheaded by Assistant Defense Secretary for Health Affairs Jonathan Woodson to include recommendations on how to improve the military healthcare system, which services 9.6 million people.
