New input: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The military health care system of the Department of
Defense and the Veterans Health Administration of the
Department of Veterans Affairs are national institutions that
collectively manage more than 1,500 hospitals, clinics, and
health care facilities worldwide to provide services to more
than 11,000,000 beneficiaries.
(2) In the post-Cold War era, these institutions are in a
profound transition that involves challenging opportunities.
(3) During the period from 1988 to 1998, the number of
military medical personnel has declined by 15 percent and the
number of military hospitals has been reduced by one-third.
(4) During the two years since 1996, the Department of
Veterans Affairs has revitalized its structure by
decentralizing authority into 22 Veterans Integrated Service
Networks.
(5) In the face of increasing costs of medical care,
increased demands for health care services, and increasing
budgetary constraints, the Department of Defense and the
Department of Veterans Affairs have embarked on a variety of
dynamic and innovative cooperative programs ranging from shared
services to joint venture operations of medical facilities.
(6) In 1984, there was a combined total of 102 Department
of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense facilities with
sharing agreements. By 1997, that number had grown to 420.
During the six years from fiscal year 1992 through fiscal year
1997, shared services increased from slightly over 3,000
services to more than 6,000 services ranging from major medical
and surgical services, laundry, blood, and laboratory services
to unusual speciality care services.
(7) The Department of Defense and the Department of
Veterans Affairs are conducting four health care joint ventures
in New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma, and are planning to
conduct four more such ventures in Alaska, Florida, Hawaii, and
California.
