President, American Medical Association

“Senate passage today of legislation reforming VA Choice is a victory for our veterans — continuing our commitment to honor their service and providing them with the best care available. The House passed the bill last week.

“The American Medical Association (AMA) believes every veteran deserves timely, accessible, high quality health care — whether within or outside the VA system. The bipartisan leadership from the Veterans Affairs committees in both chambers produced a bill that is worthy of our veterans.
