We are pleased to be here today to discuss the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) and the Department of Defense's (DOD) sharing of federal health care resources. VA and DOD combined provide health care services to more than 12 million beneficiaries and operate more than 700 medical facilities at a cost of about $34 billion annually. You asked us to conduct a review of the sharing program, which we initiated in January 1999. As part of this review, we visited a number of VA and DOD facilities participating in sharing and surveyed over 400 local sharing partners to determine the extent to which VA and DOD actually exchange services-the first time such data have been collected.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.
