Enhancing Veteran Care Act on the Way to the President's Desk

Washington, D.C. - December 8, 2017  (The Ponder News) -- The Enhancing Veterans Care Act has passed in the House and is now on its way to the president's desk for his signature. The proposal would allow for Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) directors to contract with accredited third-party organizations to investigate their healthcare facilities.

“Our veterans deserve high-quality care from experienced and caring professionals,” said John Faso (R-NY, 19th). “These are benefits that they have earned through their service and sacrifice to our country. Unfortunately, we’ve seen far too many incidents across the country that don’t meet an acceptable standard. I am proud to support this bipartisan bill and ensure we are taking real steps to improve quality of care for America’s veterans.”

The legislation is supported by The American Legion and the Paralyzed Veterans of America. It has previously passed the Senate by unanimous consent.
