The VA has requested $369.3 billion for its fiscal 2025 budget, a proposal that includes nearly $150 billion for health care that has set off a discussion about the best options for veterans.
House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Mike Bost said Thursday he's not happy with how the VA is spending the taxpayer dollars that Congress provides.
More than 400,000 veterans signed up for health care with the Department of Veterans Affairs in the past year a 30% increase from the prior year with higher enrollments driven by a new law covering illnesses from toxic exposure during military service.
