Trump signs bill allowing veterans to seek care outside broken VA system
by Sarah Westwood | Apr 19, 2017, 11:53 AM
President Trump signed legislation Wednesday that will dramatically expand a program at the Department of Veterans Affairs that lets patients seek care from private doctors if they want to bypass the troubled VA system.
The Veterans Choice Improvement Act removes barriers that Congress placed around the original "choice" initiative and eliminates an expiration date that would have shuttered the program in August.
