Measuring Availability of Providers (MAP) for Veterans Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to study whether it is feasible to set up a full-service VA hospital in Alaska, Hawaii, and New Hampshire. The Secretary would have to publish the study results on a public VA website within one year after the bill becomes law. The bill would also change federal law on the Veterans Community Care Program, which lets veterans get care from non-VA providers. Under this change, veterans in states that lacked a full-service VA medical facility as of the date the bill becomes law would keep access to community care even if such a facility is later built there.
