RESOLUTION
Recognizing community care as an essential tool for meeting the health care needs of the veterans of the United States.
- (1) recognizes community care as an essential tool for meeting the health care needs of the veterans of the United States;
- (2) affirms that community care complements, rather than threatens, the mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs (referred to in this resolution as the “VA”);
- (3) urges the VA to implement the VA MISSION Act of 2018 ( Public Law 115–182; 132 Stat. 1393) in both letter and spirit, ensuring veterans have timely access to community providers when the VA cannot meet their needs; and
- (4) reaffirms the commitment of the Senate to ensuring that every veteran has timely access to high-quality, affordable, and veteran-centered care, whether provided in VA facilities or in the community.
