I heard of some program that lets that lets students go to college with paid tuition (for med school). Does the military pay for pre-med too, or only med school?

You are thinking of the University of the Uniformed Health Sciences in Bethesda Maryland. It is a medical school where all tuition, books and lab fees are paid for. You also receive a monthly stipend as a student, the same way a cadet at one of the military academies would. But, pre-med is on your dime unless you do it via ROTC.
The link below is for the university's web site.

There is a program that will allow you to go to medical school, free of charge (rather, you will collect a nice salary while attending); the USUHS.
Through this program, you will attend medical school on the military dime, be paid as a student, and you will be commissioned as an O-3 upon graduation. There is, of course, a military committment along with this. Upon completion of your medical residency, you will be required to serve 10 years (I think, but not 100% positive) in the active military.
I believe pre-medical education can also be paid for, but that would be more along the line of general education received while in the military and you would need to be serving while attending. You should speak to a recruiter about this.
No matter what, like all medical schools the program is very selective and you'll need to be an excellent applicant. You also need to be willing to serve in the military for quite a while.

As an add on to OldMick check out the army web site. They have a section concerning professionals: Md's,Lawyers. I believe they have a program to take care of or help take care of student loans. Will guess that the time you agree to stay in determines how far they will go. They pay is also much different. They do have a bonus program as a perk to keep Md's and Lawyers from going to the private sector.

YOU will pay for your schooling. You can't become a doctor in the United States Armed Forces without first getting your M.D.
If you need financial help, you can enlist and serve in another capacity, saving your military pay and taking advantage of the GI Bill when you get out. Then when you earn that M.D. you can apply to go back in as a military physician. I suggest you take ROTC while earning your degrees...

in case you connect as a medic or some element similar then that would want to grant loads of container adventure. Do what you want yet when money is a challenge then meet up, get the G.I. invoice and then pursue your dream. All of which will make you a extra experienced record. best of success!

You need to talk to an AMEDD Recruiter. Their main goal is to enlist medical personel. Call your local recruiting station and ask them to give you a number of their AMEDD Recruiter. If they don't help you, find me and I will give you the number to mine.
