The Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act is a U.S. law enacted in 2014 to improve healthcare access for veterans. It allows eligible veterans to receive care from private providers if they face long wait times or live far from a Department of Veterans Affairs VA facility. This law aims to reduce barriers to timely medical treatment for those who have served in the military. Additionally, the act includes provisions to enhance the accountability of VA employees and improve the overall quality of care. It provides funding for hiring more healthcare professionals and aims to streamline the process for veterans seeking medical services, ensuring they receive the support they need.
