1. Good move

This is a step in the right direction. The program should allow ANY Vet who qualifies for VA care to see ANY medical provider. This would not only make it more convenient for Veterans, it would also ease the backlog on the VA, and be a powerful incentive for the VA to provide care that is so good that Vets would prefer them over private medical providers. I have received truly excellent care from the VA, and I have also waited way too long for just mediocre care.
