The bill text says wait time for a subsequent appointment must be calculated from the original canceled appointment request date, and it requires information on wait time and drive time options.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The legislative text directly addresses the sort of wait-time manipulation the claim targets by anchoring measurement to the veteran’s original request date and tightening scheduling rules.

The promise is framed as support, not guaranteed final enactment or unilateral elimination. In office, Mike Bost materially advanced legislation that directly targets VA wait-time manipulation by requiring subsequent appointment wait times to be measured from the veteran’s original request date and by tightening access-reporting rules. He also publicly led and packaged that reform through the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee. Because the available evidence shows concrete same-term legislative support closely matched to the promise, this counts as delivered even though the broader problem was not yet fully solved systemwide.
