Read Your Contract

I'll bet this is in really small print in the contract they sign:

Murwin, like thousands of other military personnel hospitalized every year, is expected to reimburse the government $8.10 per day for food. That's standard procedure because of a law Congress passed in 1981. But it has angered many military families over the years.
This should really help recruiting once it reaches the status of full disclosure.

On the other hand, it's a bargain compared to what a civilian would pay in a public hospital.
