Margaret Wood Hassan: “I was really proud to help develop and pass the PACT Act”

Veterans who were exposed to toxins as well as veterans who served in the Vietnam War, Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Global War on Terror, or any combat zone after 9/11, are now eligible to enroll in VA healthcare.

Our veterans are better for it.

This issue affects not only disabled veterans but also veterans who live in rural areas without easy access to public transportation.

I have a couple of bills that address helping surviving spouses get some of the benefits that the veteran themselves gets.
