Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to applaud the passage of the Veterans Administration Scheduling Accountability Act. All too often, I hear from veterans across the 22nd District of New York who have waited months, and some years, to have their claims addressed. In their service to our great Nation, our veterans sacrifice so much. They should never die waiting for care they deserve and need. That is why the House took important steps to reform the scheduling and appeals process while expanding access to the important resources that our veterans depend on. This bill will hold every VA accountable. We seek to correct a wrong that has hurt so many of our veterans. On behalf of the veterans in the 22nd District, I thank my colleague, Representative Jackie Walorski, and my colleagues in the House, for putting our Nation's heroes first and unanimously passing this important piece of legislation right before Memorial Day. ____________________”
