CVA Applauds House Passage of the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Arlington, Va. – Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for passing the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act, a significant victory for over 9 million of America’s veterans that are currently enrolled in the VA.

No veteran should have to fight for access to the care they earned through their service. By protecting health care choice, increasing accountability, and expanding access to care, this legislation honors our commitment to the men and women who served us first.

“This Veterans Day, Congress did more than thank our veterans for their service and sacrifice. They took meaningful action to honor the promises we made to them,” said CVA Executive Director John Vick. “This is the kind of leadership our veterans have waited far too long to see from Washington, and we thank the lawmakers who worked hard to make it happen.”

With House passage secured, the Senate must make these long-overdue reforms a reality and save veteran lives. CVA urges senators to act swiftly to send this legislation to the president’s desk so veterans can begin receiving the care and choices they earned.
