VETERANS’ HEALTHCARE MAP

For more than a decade, critics of the healthcare system run by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) have assured veterans that privatizing their care through widespread outsourcing to private sector providers will give them greater access to high quality, timely, and conveniently located healthcare services.

But will veterans, in fact, have more choices of providers? Will VA outsourcing truly minimize delays? Are there the requisite number of doctors, hospitals, and therapists ready and able to care for 9 million America veterans enrolled in the VHA?

VHPI is proud to release “Veterans’ Health Care Choice: Myth or Reality?” — the first report to comprehensively answers these questions. This project documents the massive lack of primary care, mental healthcare, and hospital services throughout all 50 states.
