V.A. Seeks to Redirect Billions of Dollars Into Private Care https://nyti.ms/2HbKyQe
Trump Administration and Dept. Of Veterans Affairs said to be planning significant shift in
V.A. health care to private providers. Plan would approach Tricare in use of private Drs and hospitals. Plan could be announced during State of the Union speech. Critics concerned of higher overall costs and depletion of VA system.

Thank you, my friend Ken Kraetzer for making us aware. Since this is the NY Times which is biased against President Donald Trump I am somewhat skeptical especially since the Federal Government is partially shutdown.
"The Department of Veterans Affairs is preparing to shift billions of dollars from government-run veterans’ hospitals to private health care providers, setting the stage for the biggest transformation of the veterans’ medical system in a generation.
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."
I am very satisfied with my VAMC treatment at Martinsburg, WV, VAMC. Today I am scheduled for a CT Myelogram of cervical and thoracic spine at Martinsburg, WV, VAMC.
