Veterans will now have the opportunity to check wait times at the 1,700 Veterans Affairs facilities across the country. The agency, under the direction of new VA Secretary David Shulkin, has just launched a website called www.accesstocare.va.gov which allows vets to track their place in line.

    The site will allow veterans to see wait times at local VA facilities and reviews of primary and specialty care appointments.

    The tool is meant to increase the department's accountability to the public and "ensures VA is held to a higher standard," according to a departmental statement.
