Opportunities with VHA Reorganization

The Veterans’ Affairs Committee held an oversight hearing Wednesday to discuss the modernization of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). VHA has not been updated in over 30 years. This has caused delays and bureaucratic confusion which results in inefficient care for veterans. The new proposed system is more direct with less red tape and has the goal of placing the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s veterans and their families. I asked the VA Secretary about how improvements to VHA would benefit the territories. See my exchange with Secretary Collins here.
