What it does
The POW Priority Care Act of 2025 would amend Title 38 of the United States Code to assign the highest priority status for hospital care and medical services through the Department of Veterans Affairs to veterans who are former prisoners of war. This change would affect former POW veterans by ensuring they receive top-tier enrollment priority in the VA health care system, including for extended care services. The amendments apply to all former POW veterans, regardless of when their service or captivity occurred, including those who were POWs before, on, or after the Act’s enactment.
