Advocates applauded the progress the Department of Veterans Affairs has made in a much-maligned program to offer private health care to eligible veterans, but said too many are being excluded or are simply unaware of the option.

I got this card in the mail months ago. I didn't know what it was. Now I do. Thanks for sharing!

It is definitely a step in the right direction, but after all of the issues that have occurred, there is a LOOOONG way to go. We have to take every positive step in stride, though. It's more than has been done in the past.
