Veterans can already do that.

They aren't locked into the VA, and whether or not the VA is sufficient depends on who you ask.

Veterans already have the choice of choosing their own healthcare or using the VA. If the VA is considered insufficient, but they're using it anyways, then that means that their other choices are even worse.

Don't be fooled. Republicans want to gut the VA as a way to cut spending so they can give the rich even more tax cuts. They will happily do this at the cost of healthcare for veterans while framing it as expanding freedom by giving them a choice that they already had.
