Rural veterans would get better access to healthcare through new partnerships between VA and local medical facilities.
This bill would require all Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facilities to partner with local medical facilities in rural areas. This aims to make it easier for veterans living in the countryside to get the care they need. These partnerships would need to be in place within three years.
Today, there is no specific rule requiring Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facilities to partner with rural medical facilities. If this bill passes, every VA medical facility would be required to form such a partnership within three years, or get a waiver. This would aim to improve healthcare access for rural veterans and reduce costs for the involved facilities.
