The MAP for Veterans Act requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to study whether it's feasible to build full-service VA hospitals in Alaska, Hawaii, and New Hampshire—three states that currently lack comprehensive VA medical facilities. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs must complete this study and publish the results on a public website within one year of the bill becoming law. The legislation also aims to ensure that veterans in these states continue to have access to care through the Veterans Community Care Program, which allows eligible veterans to receive treatment from private providers when VA facilities are unavailable. The bill affects veterans living in these underserved states who currently rely on community care or must travel long distances for VA services. No specific funding amount is mentioned in the legislation.
