What health care plan do active duty military members have?
For the most part active duty service members have military medical care in military facilities. Under certain circumstances the military pays civilian medical facilities to provide care to active duty service members. The families of active duty military personnel have a health care plan called TRICARE Prime which is similar to an HMO. Active duty service members and their dependents do not pay premiums for health care or prescription medications. Retired service members and their dependents also have military medical care and TRICARE available to them, but must pay premiums for TRICARE Prime. TRICARE Standard, which is a cost sharing plan, is also available to retired service members and their dependents. Once service members and their spouses turn 65 years of age and are covered by Medicare, TRICARE for Life acts as supplemental insurance for Medicare. Premiums for Medicare, Part B now vary by income.

Is the Marine Corps a division of the Navy?
No. The US Marine Corps is not a division of the US Navy. Because the Marines and the Navy are so inter-twined in their combat actions, both services fall under the authority of the Secretary of the Navy. The Navy is commanded by a 4-star admiral called the Chief of Naval Operations. The U.S. Marine Corps is commanded by a 4-star general called the Commandant of the Marine Corps. Both services are represented with a seat in the Joint Chiefs of Staff. There are three catagories of US Service Branches: (1) Uniformed, armed, military; (2) uniformed, armed; (3) uniformed, unarmed. There are five uniformed, armed, military services branches for the USA: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard. There are two uniformed, armed services: the US Forest Service (with police authority); and the US Marshals Service (a Federal law enforcement service). There is one uniformed, unarmed service: the US Public Health Service (of which the Surgeon General and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention {CDC} are most noted). There are some units that wear uniforms, and some that are armed, but they are not "service branches". Border Patrol officers, Immigration officers, and other units with police-like authority are examples. The US Postal Service stands alone. It is often mistaken for a government-owned corporation (e.g., Amtrak), but is legally defined as an "independent establishment of the executive branch of the Government of the United States". The USPS has soveriegn immunity and can negotiate treaties with other countries without presidential or congressional approval. How about that?
