McAllister Votes to Broaden Veterans' Access to Health Care
06/10/14WASHINGTON, D.C.– U.S. Rep. Vance McAllister (R-Swartz) released the following statement today following House passage of H.R. 4810, The Veterans Access to Care Act:
“A recent audit of the VA revealed that tens of thousands of veterans have not received the care they need and instead have been placed in lengthy wait lines. This is unacceptable. There’s absolutely no excuse for not making time to see those who answered the call to defend our country and its constitution. That is why I am proud that the House unanimously passed The Veterans Access to Care Act. This legislation will reduce these delays by allowing veterans the opportunity to access health care in the private sector if a VA facility cannot meet their needs. This is an important step toward fixing the problem, and I will continue working to ensure that our veterans receive the high quality care they deserve in a timely manner.”
U.S. Rep. Vance McAllister, R-Swartz, represents Louisiana’s 5th Congressional District and serves on the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on Agriculture.
