House Democrats, including Rep. Lori Trahan, Rep. Shontel Brown, and Rep. Chris Pappas, support expanded IVF access for veterans, countering House Republicans' criticism. The Dept. of Veterans Affairs' policy on fertility treatments for veterans is praised by lawmakers for providing crucial care to those who served. Bipartisan efforts are underway to protect veterans' access to essential services and benefits, such as the 1-800-MyVA411 hotline and the Cost of War Toxic Exposure Fund.
I joined vets in Great Falls today to urge toxic-exposed veterans to apply for the PACT Act care and benefits they earned. VA took big steps this month to expand health care eligibility for millions more of these brave men and women, and it’s crucial we spread the word. https://t.co/GAqvMkjvq4
If Republicans actually cared about helping hopeful parents start the families of their dreams, they'd help pass my bill to protect IVF nationwide. It's that simple. https://t.co/tcr736QOce
Veterans deserve access to all types of health care — including IVF to start or grow their families. Proud to join @RepLoriTrahan in signing a letter applauding the VA for expanding IVF access to all veteran families. https://t.co/h58Y6yyHfi
Thanks to the PACT Act, more Veterans exposed to burn pits & other toxic substances are finally getting the crucial benefits they deserve. Veterans selflessly serve our country, and I’m proud that $2.4 billion in benefits have already been awarded to Veterans all around America.
Another House Republican has signed onto US House legislation to provide federal protections for IVF treatments Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) Four House Republicans have now joined bill Background via @cbsnews https://t.co/lACvUKgqDN
It should never be up to politicians to decide how or when families have kids. Yet House Republicans sent a letter to VA calling IVF treatment for veterans “morally dubious.” Access to IVF treatment should be included in the health benefits our service members have earned. https://t.co/0AHOCYRj6R
Thousands of veterans who sacrificed their lives to serve our country were exposed to toxic burn pits & other substances impacting their health. Their care is protected under the Cost of War Toxic Exposure Fund that the majority is trying to limit. We must protect our veterans. https://t.co/8Zbnx4UctY
I recently intro'd a bipartisan bill with @SenatorFischer to permanently protect access to 1-800-MyVA411 that veterans rely on to obtain info & assistance with their benefits. Our veterans sacrificed so much, & it’s our responsibility to take care of them when they come home. https://t.co/gygYtrjfxj
Last week, extremists criticized @DeptVetAffairs for providing more veterans the reproductive care they need to grow their families. Today, I joined @RepLoriTrahan and my colleagues to applaud this policy – because all Americans deserve access to the fertility care they need. https://t.co/yAY1pzDejk
Our veterans have made incredible sacrifices to defend our freedom and deserve the best care available. I'm proud to cosponsor @GerryConnolly's Not Just A Number Act to equip the VA with the tools it needs to protect our nation's heroes once they've returned home. https://t.co/KuAEiHfvNm
Proud to join dozens of @HouseDemocrats to stand up for expanded IVF access for the veteran community. Veterans have already sacrificed for our country. We cannot let Republicans continue to politicize this deeply personal issue for so many families who have served. https://t.co/KRcmSQOOO0
Grateful to the @DeptVetAffairs for making the expanded #PACTAct health benefits I helped pass available ahead of schedule. They will be transformational for so many veterans in our community and across the country. Learn more: https://t.co/9hySpptPHe
Proud to join this letter from @RepLoriTrahan defending IVF access for veterans. ALL Americans should have access to reproductive health care and the ability to decide when and how to grow their family. https://t.co/ntBAQFUIDF
Last week, a group of House Republicans called IVF “morally dubious” and attacked @DeptVetAffairs for expanding fertility treatment access to more veterans. Today, I led 69 @HouseDemocrats affirming our support for IVF and the VA’s new policy. We won't back down from this fight. https://t.co/5wzP79PbjF
