Synopsis is a subscription-based publication of Congressional activities focusing on Military and Veterans healthcare.

Gray & Associates provides the most comprehensive and timely summaries of hearings, meetings, and Committee reports on the healthcare portion of the annual Department of Defense Authorization and Appropriations and many other VA, DHP, and military healthcare related topics.
