The crisis of veteran suicide is not new, but our solutions must be, and that is why I introduced the Veterans' Acute Crisis Care for Emergent Suicide Symptoms Act, or Veterans' ACCESS Act, that will mandate VA cover the costs of emergency mental health care for all veterans, regardless of their eligibility for VA history or level of service connection.
Roe discusses the need for new solutions to veteran suicide and introduces a related act.

I would like to encourage the SBA to allow lenders the discretion to offer loans to companies in Chapter 11.
As long as I am in the Congress I will never vote to see the VA do a major project again.
But I am mindful of something Rahm Emanuel said when he was chief of staff to President Obama in 2009. He said you never let a serious crisis go to waste. I am afraid some of us are doing that here.
I strongly urge the Committee and Congress to consider programmatic changes that ensure greater access to the PPP and EIDL programs.
