Recent legislative efforts and visits by lawmakers across the United States highlight the impact of the PACT Act on veterans' healthcare, particularly for generations of toxic-exposed veterans. The Act, aimed at providing benefits and healthcare to veterans exposed to toxins during their service, has been praised for its early and effective delivery of services, allowing veterans to enroll directly in VA healthcare. Senators and Representatives, including Senator Baldwin, Rep. Joe Morelle, Sen. Bob Casey, Senator Hick, Sen. Jack Reed, Rep. Kevin Mullin, and Sen. Sherrod Brown, have actively engaged with veterans, discussing the expanded healthcare benefits and visiting various veteran service centers and events. Their visits to places like VFW Post 7293 in Whitehall, Mt. Carmel Veteran’s Service Center in Colorado Springs, Colma Veterans Village, and the participation in Honor Flight's 30th trip underscore the commitment to ensuring veterans receive the care they earned. The engagement with veterans from WW2, Vietnam, and Korea, and efforts to support formerly homeless Veterans, further highlight the PACT Act's significant achievement in expanding access to critical healthcare services for veterans.
The veterans of WW2, Vietnam and Korea are true American heroes. Today, I met with some of them as they arrived in DC with the help of @Honor_Flight_CH. I offered them my sincerest gratitude for their service and bravery🇺🇸 https://t.co/m6GocH47Xw
We wrote the PACT Act to honor our commitment to our veterans, including the health care they earned through their service. https://t.co/gnmO6aVioQ
I was honored to visit Colma Veterans Village where I met with formerly homeless Veterans who have sacrificed so much for our country. I’ll continue to work to ensure those who bravely served our nation can access the benefits they deserve, which is why I voted for the PACT Act. https://t.co/NCJ8Egr15u
It’s always an honor to meet w/ veterans who valiantly served our nation. @HonorFlightRI is preparing for their 30th trip so local veterans can visit nat’l monuments in D.C. built in their honor. Honor Flight “Forged in Fire” takes off next month! https://t.co/PnrSbb0fyi
Our PACT Act is delivering for our veterans. Stopped by Mt. Carmel Veteran’s Service Center in Colorado Springs last week to meet with veterans and discuss veteran benefits and care. https://t.co/14pCk2HsSD
This morning I visited VFW Post 7293 in Whitehall to talk to veterans about the PACT Act and the expanded health care benefits it's opened to them. Our veteran's risk everything for our country, we have to make sure we take care of them when they come home. https://t.co/wRPuypuLO2
I was proud to pass the PACT Act under which all veterans exposed to toxins while serving in the military are now eligible to enroll directly in VA healthcare—years ahead of schedule. I'll never stop fighting to expand access to critical healthcare services for our veterans.
Veterans earn the care they get from the VA. I’m glad to see our PACT Act delivering generations of toxic-exposed veterans their long-overdue benefits and also making sure veterans get the health care they earned. https://t.co/gRxmuD9dxq
