Creates a new independent commission to review and recommend improvements for veterans' healthcare services.
This bill would create a new independent commission, called the VetPAC, to regularly check how the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is doing. This commission would review everything from wait times to quality of care, then give Congress recommendations each year to improve services for millions of veterans.
Today, there is no ongoing independent commission specifically tasked with reviewing the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and reporting its findings to Congress. This means Congress relies on other sources for comprehensive, independent oversight of VHA operations. If this bill becomes law, it would create the Veterans Health Administration Policy Advisory Commission (VetPAC), a new independent body. This commission would conduct regular, detailed reviews of VHA operations, covering everything from IT systems to patient wait times and quality of care, and then provide annual reports with recommendations to Congress.
