S. 4847 is a bill asking the Secretary of Defense to study how military doctors work together with civilian hospitals, checking how much it costs, how good the doctors are, and how they manage bills. This study needs to be shared with important committees in Congress by May 1, 2025.

The bill asks the government to study whether it's possible to bring water from the Missouri River to help people and businesses in Western South Dakota, and the government will help pay for part of this study. They plan to spend up to $10 million on the study, but there need to be clear rules to make sure the money is spent wisely.
