Veterans Choice Extension Sent to Trump’s Desk

The Senate approved the bipartisan VA MISSION Act which extends funding for the Veterans Choice Program. The Choice program funding is a temporary extension as other provisions in the bill are implemented for a bolstered care in the community experience. The Choice program has been plagued by administrative issues in the VA, and veterans and Congress alike have been eager for serious improvements to the system.

President Trump is expected to sign the bill soon as he urged Congress to pass the bill before Memorial Day.
