Can you discuss what the impact would be on women's healthcare if VA funding levels were rolled back to the 2022 funding levels?
I commend you and all of the folks at the VA for moving in the direction you are.
This proposal to cut VA programs back to fiscal year 2022 levels plays politics with veterans' lives.
$20.3 billion in mandatory funding through the Toxic Exposures Fund ensures our commitment to the PACT Act and to our veterans.
I am also pleased to welcome you back, Mr. Secretary, to the MILCON-VA Subcommittee.
I hope that holds true as we move forward. And I urge my Republican colleges to take a step back and look at the real-world human impact of cutting back to fiscal year 2022 levels.
If the pace of funding for our housing improvement slows or stalls, it would really reverse our road to recovery.
I am pleased to see the administration using the full authority of the Toxic Exposures Fund in its budget request.
