flag VA proposes cutting health care networks from 18 to 5 regions to improve veteran care access.

flag The VA is proposing to cut its health care regional networks from 18 to five and eliminate a top leadership role to reduce bureaucracy and improve veteran care access. flag A new $1 trillion, 10-year community care contract supports the shift, but concerns persist over implementation, including potential contractor dominance and limited roles for veteran-owned nonprofits. flag The United Veterans Care Alliance backs extending the transition from 12 to 18 months to ensure smoother provider changes and better network development. flag Oversight by the OIG, GAO, and Congress will be key, with longer timelines seen as vital to addressing past issues and improving outcomes.
