V.A. Will Spend Billions on Private Health Care

The Department of Veterans Affairs will redirect billions of dollars toward the private health care sector in an effort to reform a broken system.
Recent years have seen several scandals involving the V.A.'s waiting lists, which can deny care to veterans for months and even years. By allowing veterans to seek treatment in private facilities, it is hoped that some of the serious deficiencies in the system can be addressed.
New York Times:
Under proposed guidelines, it would be easier for veterans to receive care in privately run hospitals and have the government pay for it. Veterans would also be allowed access to a system of proposed walk-in clinics, which would serve as a bridge between V.A. emergency rooms and private providers, and would require co-pays for treatment.
