Restoring the Promise of the MISSION Act
Veterans rely on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to provide timely, high-quality care for the injuries and illnesses they incurred in the course of military service. However, the agency routinely fails to deliver on this promise by forcing veterans to languish on waitlists for care. In response, President Trump signed the VA Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks (MISSION) Act into law in 2018, giving veterans the right to obtain care from providers in their own communities when the VHA could not deliver. By 2024, the MISSION Act connected 3.1 million veterans—over a third of the VHA’s veteran enrollees—with high-quality clinics and hospitals in their communities.
