AIR CARE for Vets Act of 2026

This bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to set up a pilot program that uses FDA-approved four-dimensional lung imaging software to identify breathing disorders and lung disease in veterans treated at VA facilities. The VA would carry out the program by seeking to lease the software from a company that develops it. The VA's authority to enter such lease agreements would end five years after the bill becomes law, and the VA would report to Congress on the program's effectiveness within two years after that. The bill authorizes $5 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
