    How would waiving the 24-month prior care requirement affect VA emergency reimbursement costs and budget allocation across regions?

  2. 02

    What challenges might newly enrolled veterans face accessing emergency care at non-VA facilities during the first 60 days without this coverage expansion?

  3. 03
