Beginning of article:

 

"President Donald Trump signed a bill Wednesday to temporarily extend a program that lets some veterans seek medical care in the private sector, part of an effort by the president to deliver on a campaign promise.

The extension will give Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin time to develop a more comprehensive plan to allow veterans to more easily go outside the VA health system for care. Under the bill Trump signed into law, the VA will be allowed to continue operating its Choice Program until the funding runs out, which is expected early next year. The program was scheduled to expire on Aug. 7 with nearly $1 billion left over."

 

Thank you Mr. president.

Now this.  This I can get behind.  There are so many veterans with untreated PTSD, a variety of other mental health issues, and just generally being shat on because of lack of Healthcare and coverage.  They need and deserve this.
