Caro master of the senate6/25/2023 Moran, ranking member of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. “Veterans deserve access to timely, high-quality care and a greater ability to choose when, where and how to use the health care benefits that they earned through their service and sacrifice,” said Sen. The Veterans’ HEALTH Act would also require VA to take meaningful steps toward embracing innovation and value-based care to increase quality, strengthen the VA workforce and prevent veteran suicide. This would be accomplished by better educating veterans about the options available to them under the MISSION Act and requiring greater accountability and transparency from VA leaders and staff. This legislation would codify and expand the current criteria established in the MISSION Act for determining when a veteran is eligible to receive community care and make certain the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) operates in a manner that promotes, rather than hinders, access to care for veterans. Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) – members of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs – today introduced the Veterans’ Health Empowerment, Access, Leadership, and Transparency for our Heroes (HEALTH) Act to protect and expand access to care for veterans, safeguard veterans’ ability to choose their own providers and require VA to improve the quality of care veterans receive.
