veterans' care

Former military healthcare

Veterans' care refers to the healthcare services, benefits, and support programs provided to former members of the armed forces.

In the United States, this care is primarily administered through the Department of Veterans Affairs, which operates hospitals, clinics, and other facilities dedicated to treating those who have served.

The term encompasses medical treatment, mental health services, rehabilitation, and long-term care.

The expansion of veterans' care has been a bipartisan issue in Congress.
