The National Association of Community Health Centers reports:
”Through the recently passed Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act, veterans who live more than 40 miles from a VA facility or who would otherwise have to wait more than 30 days for an appointment can now be seen at a participating Community Health Center. The law, which was passed in response to highly publicized reports of veterans experiencing long wait times for care, provides $10 billion over three years to the VA to pay private providers to care for eligible veterans.”
