"Pentagon officials working on Defense Secretary Mark Esper's cost-cutting review of the department have proposed slashing military health care by $2.2 billion, a reduction that some defense officials say could effectively gut the Pentagon’s health care system during a nationwide pandemic."

“ The proposed cut to the military health system over the next five years is part of a sweeping effort Esper initiated last year to eliminate inefficiencies within the Pentagon’s coffers.”
I can think of some cuts on fraudulent, wasteful programs that don’t impact the quality of health, welfare, and lives of Servicemembers, Dependents and Veterans. But hey, we know what the priorities are.
