The Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) estimates it will provide health care to 5.8 million patients with appropriations of $41.2 billion in FY 2009. The President has proposed an increase in VA's health care budget for FY 2010 to expand services for veterans. VA's patient population includes aging veterans who need services such as long-term care -- including nursing home and non-institutional care provided in veterans' homes or community -- and veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. This testimony discuss challenges related to VA's health care services budget formulation and execution, and focuses on: (1) challenges VA faces in formulating its health care budget; and (2) challenges VA faces in executing its health care budget.
