The Department of Veterans Affairs is on track for the June 6 rollout of the transformative Mission Act program to expand private health care choices, but initial glitches should be expected, officials said May 23. Officials stressed that the benefits of a system giving veterans more say in their own health care outweigh any drawbacks. The new program, officially called the "Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks (MISSION) Act," will replace the previous Choice program that veterans and private doctors complained was riddled with inefficiencies in administration and delays in payments. About 70% of veterans currently have their own health insurance, either through Medicare, Medicaid or their employers. The officials said they expect a spike in the number of veterans using health care through the VA under the new program. Read more about the program on Military.com.
