Commission Calls for More Private Options, 'Transformation' of VA Health Care System

The independent commission tasked with examining the Department of Veterans Affairs network of medical facilities will call for more private options in the government's provision of health care to veterans and the formation of a new board of directors to oversee a 'far-reaching' transformation of the system.

The Commission on Care, established by Congress after the secret wait list controversy two years ago, has outlined 18 recommendations to fix the VA's "deep problems" in a lengthy final report to President Obama and VA Secretary Robert McDonald that was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
