House Eyes Permanent Status for Veterans Choice Program

House Eyes Permanent Status for Veterans Choice Program

The House Committee on Veterans Affairs is considering legislation to overhaul and make permanent the Veterans Choice program while taking into consideration criticisms expressed by both veterans and providers of the program. Streamlining the administrative processes and adding more providers into the regional networks is crucial to ensuring the program’s effectiveness in serving Veterans in rural communities. Veterans in rural Minnesota have shared their experiences and hopes for the program with the Star Tribune.
