Fox News | Biden’s VA undermining law that gives veterans access to private health care

Sometime in 2021, the Department of Veterans Affairs took down a popular link on its website that explained how veterans can access medical care in the private sector under a law known as the Mission Act.

‌

"The Mission Act represents the ability to choose something other than VA, and they took it down," said Darin Selnick, a senior adviser to Concerned Veterans for America and former top adviser to VA Secretaries David Shulkin and Robert Wilkie.

‌

Selnick said the remaining information about the Mission Act is much more difficult for veterans to locate and is a far cry from explicit language in the Mission Act that requires VA to educate veterans about their new choices. "All they want you to be able to do is to choose VA care," he said.
