Do you really have health insurance in the military?

From my understanding, if you get seriously ill, I don't mean an injury or a conflict caused event, but if you just happen to develop a life threatening illness, the military discharges you and you lose your benefits. So how can they say you really have insurance?
--------------------
We have full insurance while on active duty. Everything is covered 100%. Now if you are medically discharged for something that was not a result of your military service it is a bit different. You go to the VA for medical if you choose. The VA charges on a sliding scale dependent on income. Kinda like civilian life, but better. See if you loose a civilian job, you also loose health benefits. But they don't offer you a no to low cost alternative just for having been employed by them now do they..
