Veteran's Choice Program
Another thing that I think President Trump has got right, is the Veterans Choice Program. We have been enabled to see civilian Doctors if you live in a rural area and the nearest VA clinic/hospital is more than fifty miles from your home. At least, this is my understanding. I know my wife and I don't have to drive over a hundred miles to the Little Rock VA hospital now, I can see doctors a lot closer to home and continue to see the same specialists.
Just mentioning this, I've ran into other vets who don't know about it.

That's good to know, I wasn't aware of it.

Re: Veteran's Choice Program
It was my understanding that Trump signed it into law and it is effective for all Vets. I'm surprised there's still more to do.

I used it for physical therapy as well as for a MRI.

Excellent! I see a knee specialist and a foot specialist, both in a civilian hospital, far more convenient for me and good care.
