GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 2019 U.S. SENATE, SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, Washington, DC. The subcommittee met at 9:36 a.m. in room SD-192, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Richard Shelby (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Shelby, Moran, Boozman, Durbin, and Tester. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DEFENSE HEALTH PROGRAM STATEMENT OF VICE ADMIRAL RAQUEL BONO, DIRECTOR OF THE DEFENSE HEALTH AGENCY OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR RICHARD C. SHELBY Senator SHELBY. Good morning. The subcommittee will come to order. Today we are pleased to welcome our distinguished panel to re- view the 2020 budget request for the Military Health System and the medical readiness of our servicemembers. Today the committee will hear from the following: Vice Admiral Raquel Bono, Director of the Defense Health Agency; Lieutenant General Nadja West, Surgeon General of the Army; Vice Admiral Forrest Faison, Surgeon General of the Navy; Lieutenant General Dorothy Hogg, Surgeon General of the Air Force; and Ms. Stacy Cummings, Program Executive Officer of the Defense Healthcare Management Systems. As this committee reviews the Department's fiscal year 2020 re- quest for funding, we acknowledge here that our Country expects our Military Health System to competently deliver medical care to our servicemembers while in theater and also provide health care to active-duty and retired U.S. military personnel and their fami- lies. More than 125,000 medical professionals are engaged in the work to ensure those that are in uniform are medically ready to de- ploy and provide healthcare to 9.6 million beneficiaries around the world. This is no small undertaking. At the same time, the committee here recently learned that the Department of Defense plans to reduce its uniformed military health personnel over the next few years. We expect to hear more about that today. (1)
