[cid:image001.png at 01DA6EDB.BA4ECAB0]In one of the largest-ever expansions of Veteran health care, all Veterans exposed to toxins and other hazards during military service - at home or abroad - will be eligible for VA health care beginning March 5
As directed by President Biden<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LndoaXRlaG91c2UuZ292L2JyaWVmaW5nLXJvb20vc3BlZWNoZXMtcmVtYXJrcy8yMDIzLzExLzExL3JlbWFya3MtYnktcHJlc2lkZW50LWJpZGVuLWF0LWEtdmV0ZXJhbnMtZGF5LXdyZWF0aC1sYXlpbmctY2VyZW1vbnktYXJsaW5ndG9uLXZhLyIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyNDAyMjcuOTA5MjAyMDEifQ.QDgnVBcf43GMkMijHszhyTRj8dJwkWFCloNbwi_5YsE/s/181086910/br/237836803211-l>, this expansion of VA health care eliminates the phased-in approach called for by the PACT Act - meaning that millions of Veterans are becoming eligible for VA health care up to eight years earlier than written into law. This is a critical step forward because Veterans who are enrolled in VA health care are proven to have better health outcomes than non-enrolled Veterans, and VA hospitals have dramatically outperformed non-VA hospitals in overall quality ratings<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbmV3cy52YS5nb3YvcHJlc3Mtcm9vbS92YS1vdXRwZXJmb3JtLW5vbi12YS1mYWNpbGl0aWVzLWNtcy1yYXRpbmdzLyIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyNDAyMjcuOTA5MjAyMDEifQ.zGKhZrPbOqQrBa-PkdaAL07NyL8sTZxXbCITa7h3-PA/s/181086910/br/237836803211-l> and patient satisfaction ratings<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbmV3cy52YS5nb3YvcHJlc3Mtcm9vbS9uYXRpb253aWRlLXBhdGllbnQtc3VydmV5LXNob3dzLXZhLWhvc3BpdGFscy1vdXRwZXJmb3JtLW5vbi12YS1ob3NwaXRhbHMvIiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDI0MDIyNy45MDkyMDIwMSJ9.dlwZztA57c6VCp0IZ-zWKNRGzSsV2-kWuNTMjOV8ww8/s/181086910/br/237836803211-l>.
