The New York Times ran a story about decentralization of medical care in the UK. What if "military medical system" was substituted for NHS in the story?

Practical details of the plan are still sketchy. But its aim is clear: to shift control of England’s $160 billion annual health budget from a centralized bureaucracy to doctors at the local level.

Navy Times is reporting that the Defense Undersecretary for wounded warrior care and transition policy was sacked.

Koch said he believes the decision was unjust and that he resigned “under duress” after Stanley told him he had no confidence in him. The Pentagon had no comment.

“No explanation was given, although I pressed for one,” he said. “No prior indication of dissatisfaction with the work of this office was cited.”

USA Today is featuring an article by Greg Zoroya about the exploding costs of military medicine:

WASHINGTON — Military health care spending is rising twice as fast as the nation's overall health care costs, consuming a larger chunk of the defense budget as the Pentagon struggles to pay for two wars, military budget figures show.
