House Approves Veterans Choice Extension

House Approves Veterans Choice Extension

The House Veterans Affairs Committee proposed new, bipartisan legislation to extend funding for the Veterans Choice program for an additional year while the VA implements wide-ranging reforms to the healthcare collaborations in communities. The MISSION Act was spearheaded by House VA Committee Chairman Phil Roe and represents a collaborative, bipartisan process of reconciling the differences which stalled the prior bill earlier this year.

President Trump has shared his support for this legislation and asks the Senate to vote on the legislation by Memorial Day.
