Industry Impact
Which industries are materially affected by specific provisions in this bill. 1 helped, 1 harmed.
- +Hospitals & Health Systemsconfidence 0.90
Section 2(d) requires automatic enrollment of eligible veterans in the VA patient enrollment system, which will increase demand for VA healthcare services, benefiting hospitals and health systems that provide care to veterans, including VA facilities and contracted providers.
- −Health Insuranceconfidence 0.70
By automatically enrolling veterans in VA healthcare, the bill may reduce reliance on private health insurance for veterans, potentially decreasing enrollment in private health plans and imposing a cost on health insurers.
