S.Res. 492 — A resolution recognizing community care as an essential tool for meeting the health care needs of the veterans of the United States.

This section states the sense of the Senate that (1) community care is an essential tool for meeting veterans' health care needs; (2) community care complements, rather than threatens, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) mission; (3) the VA should implement the VA MISSION Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-182) in both letter and spirit to ensure veterans' timely access to community providers when the VA cannot meet their needs; and (4) the Senate reaffirms its commitment to ensuring every veteran has timely access to high-quality, affordable, veteran-centered care, whether in VA facilities or the community.
