On the recordNovember 12, 2003
As we observed Veterans Day yesterday, and remembered the sacrifices each and every veteran has made to grant us our current freedoms, Congress should be doing all it can to help modernize and improve the VA healthcare system at the earliest possible time. This amendment would derail this effort. Congress should be finding new and innovative ways to get healthcare services delivered in a more timely and convenient way to our former servicemen and women. This amendment would postpone this effort. Finally, Congress needs to ensure that the foundation and future of the VA healthcare system is stable and secure, giving our veterans the peace of mind that they will receive high quality and accessible healthcare whenever it is required. This amendment would hinder this effort. The VA will soon finalize its 20-year Capital Asset Realignment for Enhanced Services initiative, better known as the CARES plan, for updating medical facilities.
