    Active military service members and retired veterans have given their allegiance and sometimes their lives to preserve our nation’s safety and security. Their contributions to the protection of our country come at great cost to their lives and the lives of their families. Nurses are an integral part of the medical team saving lives of military personnel both in the trenches of combat, within community hospitals and clinics. At each point of delivery of care nurses are prepared to meet the needs of military service men and women. “ Of the 837,000 service members deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan who left military service as of November 2007, nearly 40% have sought health care from the VA”(Deyton, Hess, & Jackonis, 2008, p. 683). This large populations attempt to seek the care they need goes unmet by the Military Health System (MHS) and the VA health system due impart to lack of healthcare resources and funding. A health care issue military service men and women face is access to primary health care insurance coverage for their injuries sustained during combat and for their families. Another health issue identified is treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).…

    Military medical care for active duty members of uniformed service and their families date back to the 1700’s. In 1884 Congress directed that “medical officers of the Army and contract surgeons shall whenever possible attend the families of the officers and soldiers free of charge.” Powers (2008). Following were great strides made to provide maternity care, infant care, psychiatric care, and care for surviving family members of a deceased sponsor. By the 80’s there was two ways for military personnel, retirees, and family member to receive health care. Tricare/CHAMPUS was now in full effect. Service members received treatment at the medical facilities and retirees and family members were seen on a space available status. Family members and retirees also had the option of using Civilian Health and Medical Program Uniformed Services (CHAMPS), which provides government subsidized care from civilian providers.…
