Summary

Veterans Empowerment Act This bill restructures the delivery of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care through private non-VA providers.

Veterans Health Administration (VHA) hospital care, medical services, and other health care functions and personnel (excluding nursing home care and domiciliary care) are transferred to the organization.
