Military CARE Act

Key Points

• The bill requires the Department of Defense to build a website or app where military families can report problems getting medical appointments or seeing doctors.
• Patients will be able to track their complaints online to see what actions officials are taking to fix the problem.
• The system will automatically send these reports to patient advocates and senior leaders at the Defense Health Agency to help them identify which hospitals have the longest wait times or most paperwork issues.
• Every year, the Department of Defense would have to give Congress a report showing the most common complaints, such as whether it is harder to see a specialist or a pediatrician.
• This plan aims to make it easier for service members and their families to speak up when they cannot get the care they need and ensures the government is held accountable for fixing those issues.
