Choice program for veterans falters amid rollout chaos
Few veterans use the Veterans Choice plan as it rolls out across the United States. Launched Nov 5 with 10 billion dollars, the program to shift care to private doctors has drawn only 37,648 appointments through April 11, far short of the nearly 432,000 long waits reported earlier. Concerns include eligibility confusion, bureaucratic hurdles, and veterans preferring local VA care, with contractors TriWest and Health Net noting ongoing improvements.
