POW Priority Care Act of 2025

This bill would move veterans who are former prisoners of war into the highest priority group for enrolling in the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system. Under current law, these veterans are placed in a lower priority group (paragraph 3). The bill would also add former prisoners of war to a category of veterans covered under a provision on extended care services. These changes would apply to all former prisoners of war, whether they became prisoners before or after the law takes effect.
