Servicemember to Veteran Health Care Connection Act of 2025

# Servicemember to Veteran Health Care Connection Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill aims to improve the healthcare transition for military members as they leave active duty and become veterans. Specifically, it would establish better connections between the military's health system and the Veterans Affairs (VA) health system, likely by improving how medical records and health information are shared electronically between these two separate systems. The bill also appears to address licensing issues that may arise when healthcare providers transition from military to veteran medical roles. **Who It Affects:** The bill directly affects servicemembers who are transitioning to veteran status and the healthcare providers who serve them.

It would also impact the Department of Defense and the VA, which would need to coordinate and potentially change how their healthcare systems operate. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill (S 585) has been introduced in the Senate and is under review in the appropriate congressional committee. It has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. The bill was sponsored by Senator Angus King, an Independent from Maine.
