Re: Iraq/hospitals

Military hospitals are usually on or near military installations.  VA 
hospitals are on govt. property, but not a military installation, and can be in any 
city.  VA hospitals are open to anyone that served in the military for any 
amount of time, but not dependents.   Military hospitals are for active duty, 
retirees, and their dependents (spouses, and children to age 18 unless going to 
college).   I think, though not 100% sure, that reservists can only use the 
military hospitals while on active duty....or hurt while on military duty.   
Perhaps Cathy has more info..

So just what is the difference in who is eligible for service at
military hospitals vs. Veteran's hospitals. We don't have any military
hospitals in Iowa...just a couple of VA Medical Centers that the
government has been trying, unsuccessfully, to close for the last decade
or so. I wouldn't even know where the closest military hospital
is...Chicago maybe?
