VA Budget
– The administration has proposed a 20% increase in VA Budget for
fiscal year 2023 (begins 1 Oct 2022). They expect an 8 % increase
in VA health care patient visits and a 7& increase in VA authorized
community health care patient visits.

VA Infrastructure
- The VA plans on closing or completely rebuilding 35 health care
facilities in 21 States. Also, 14 new major VA hospitals would be
built along with 140 multi-specialty community-based outpatient
clinics. There is a lot of study, reviews and congressional
approval required before any of this happens. So if it appears that
an action is happening in your area, be sure to let you
congressional representatives know how you feel about it, either
way.

A second Covid booster shot (that’s for a total of four if

those over 50 years of age. So, if you are inclined, contact the VA
or your health care provider to sign up.
