To direct the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to improve the availability of care for veterans at facilities of the Department of Defense.
Summary
H.R. 6595 proposes to direct the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to enhance the availability of care for veterans at Department of Defense facilities. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been referred to the House Subcommittee on Health in December 2025.
If enacted, this legislation would focus on improving healthcare access and services for veterans who use military medical facilities. The practical impact would depend on the specific provisions developed during committee consideration, which could include measures to expand capacity, reduce wait times, improve service coordination between the two departments, or enhance the range of medical services available at these facilities.
As standard legislation, the bill would require presidential signature to become law. It remains under committee review and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
