“The direction I’m taking this is to give veterans more choice in
their care,” Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin says. The issue is
a hot-button topic for those involved in veterans' advocacy.
The Wall Street Journal:
Veterans Affairs Chief Wants Bigger Role For Private Health Care
The top official at the Department of Veterans Affairs said he
wants private-sector providers to play a larger role in veterans’ health
care, a view likely to draw opposition for a Trump cabinet member who
has enjoyed rare bipartisan support. David Shulkin said in an interview
that he wants to make the VA’s hospital system compete with
private-sector providers for military veteran customers, which he said
would give veterans greater choice over their health care. (Kesling and
