Today, the President signed legislation for our veterans, and I held a press conference at the VA Errera Center in West Haven to highlight the Veterans’ Access to Care through Choice, Accountability, and Transparency Act. The bill will expand the number of options veterans have for receiving care and grant the Secretary of Veterans Affairs more power to fire senior executives. It includes $5 billion for strengthening the VA by recruiting more doctors, nurses and other medical providers and other measures, and allots $10 billion to help veterans access care from private doctors if they have been on waiting lists for more than a month or dont live near VA facilities. This major bipartisan breakthrough will help fix the VAs broken health care system -- ending deadly delays and enhancing access to quality medicine for our nations heroes. j.mp/1r2GyON
