Fixing VA Healthcare: Darren Selnick on the Veterans Access Act and Saving Veterans’ Lives

In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Darren Selnick, Senior Advisor for Concerned Veterans for America and one of the architects of the VA MISSION Act, about the next big step in veterans’ healthcare reform — the Veterans Access Act. Selnick reveals how bureaucratic failures and delays under the current administration have left veterans waiting months for care, forcing some to travel hundreds of miles or worse, leading to preventable tragedies, including suicides.

He explains how the Veterans Access Act would enforce timely care — requiring the VA to act within 48 hours for urgent mental health cases, protect veterans’ right to choose community care, and stop the VA from hiding or denying eligibility. Selnick also exposes why entrenched bureaucrats resist reform and how grassroots action can push Congress to finally deliver on America’s promise to its veterans. If you care about veterans’ healthcare, mental health, and VA reform, this episode is essential listening.
