This bill proposes to amend title 38, United States Code, to mandate the consideration of continuity of health care as a crucial factor in determining a veteran's best medical interest within the Veterans Community Care Program. The legislation specifically adds "Continuity of care" to the factors listed under Section 1703(d)(2) of title 38.
