House Passes Bill to Streamline VA Community Care Programs
AHA News
The House of Representatives last night voted 347-70 to approve bipartisan legislation to streamline and consolidate the Department of Veterans Affairs’ community care programs into a permanent Veterans Community Care Program. As amended, the VA MISSION Act of 2018 (S. 2372) would require access to community care based on certain access criteria, doing away with the 40-mile or 30-day wait period currently required through the Choice Program.
