VA Wants to Use Health Care Fund to Pay for Unfinished Denver Hospital Construction

While VA has identified possible funding source, Senator Michael Bennet also wants the VA to show how it will discipline those responsible for the cost overruns

San Jose Mercury News

The Veterans Affairs Department has told Congress it would like to use $830 million from a $5 billion fund for improving health care to pay for and finish the over-budget Denver VA hospital. Congress allocated the $5 billion to hire more physicians, upgrade facilities, improve efficiency and make other changes to give veterans better access to health care.
