Subject: Emergency VA Funding Bill Passed

Robert, Last week, Congress passed H.R. 3230, the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014—last-minute emergency VA funding. Yesterday, the President signed this critical legislation into law. VFW supporters and veterans' advocates wrote their members of Congress to demand passage of the VA emergency funding bill that will put VA on track to overcome the nationwide crisis in veterans' access to care and breach of confidence. This $17 billion emergency funding bill will: Expand veterans' access to health care, ensuring they will no longer wait months to receive care Allow VA to hire more doctors, nurses and other health care support staff Fund the expansion or creation of 27 VA outpatient clinics and research facilities Enhance care for victims of Military Sexual Trauma and TBI Provide in-state tuition rates for all Post-9/11 GI Bill recipients With the strength of advocates behind us, the VFW will not rest until the VA fixes what is broken and gives our veterans the high quality care and compassion they have earned. The passing of this bill is a sure step in the right direction. Find a Post | Contribute | About Us | Contact Us Unsubscribe | Tell A Friend © 2001 - 2014. All rights reserved.
