I rise on behalf of our true American heroes, our veterans, to highlight important legislation that will help those who need it most. Last month I introduced the PROMISE Act to continue my efforts to promote safety, patient advocacy, and better access to quality care for our veterans. The PROMISE Act will increase safety for opioid therapy and pain management, encourage more transparency at the VA, encourage more outreach and awareness of the Patient Advocacy Program for veterans, and help provide alternative forms of care to address veterans' health needs. Our veterans sacrificed so much for our country. It is up to us to provide them with the care they have earned and deserve. We must encourage safe, quality care for those who have fought for our freedoms. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill and help fulfill our promise to our veterans. ____________________
