Vet Groups Support New Legislation for Veterans Choice Program

Major veterans organizations have backed the new effort by Congress to pass legislation providing $4.2 billion to extend the Veterans Choice program. The bill would also expand the caregivers program for families of disabled vets. The American Legion and the Disabled American Veterans both endorsed the bill introduced by Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tennessee, chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee. The bill would also order a review of the facilities and inventory of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
