    At the same time, couldn’t army bases be used to provide medical services on federal land to people who don’t have access to it because of state laws?

    Asking as a Canadian, so please enlighten me people!

      People who don’t have any affiliation with the base typically aren’t allowed on most bases, most of the time. The medical facilities on bases are for service members and their covered spouse/dependents. Even civilian employees generally can’t receive care on base unless they are going to die if they don’t receive it immediately.

      I think service members and their families would be able to receive care that might be locally outlawed, but federally legal. Everyone else affiliated with the base would be SOL.
