White House spokesman Sean Spicer says Trump will sign the bill Wednesday at the White House.
The extension will provide stopgap services while Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin develops a longer- term plan to allow veterans to more easily go outside the VA medical system for care. Under the bill, the VA will be allowed to operate its Choice program until the funding runs out.
The program is set to expire in August without the legislation, and with nearly USD 1 billion in the account.
