AI Summary
This bill directs the Comptroller General (the head of the Government Accountability Office, which conducts independent audits and evaluations of government programs) to review the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical care budget requests for fiscal years 2026, 2027, and 2028. Specifically, the Comptroller General will examine the medical care budget submissions in the President's annual budget request and submit reports to the Senate and House Committees on Veterans' Affairs, Appropriations, and Budget. The bill defines "medical care accounts" as four specific VA medical care categories: Medical Services, Medical Support and Compliance, Medical Facilities, and Medical Community Care. The Comptroller General will consult with the Veterans' Affairs Committees to determine the exact timing and scope of these reviews. This legislation aims to improve transparency and oversight of VA healthcare funding by providing independent analysis of the VA's budget requests across multiple fiscal years.
