WASHINGTON, October 22 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a member of the veterans committee, today hailed President Barack Obama’s signing of legislation establishing advanced funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs and the department’s recent acceptance of the connection between Agent Orange and devastating diseases.
President Obama signed legislation today providing health care funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) one year in advance to better plan and manage their facilities including the ability to hire and train the right number of staff to take care of our veterans.
Sanders, an original co-sponsor of the Veterans Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act of 2009, said, “After years of work by our nation’s veterans organizations and their allies here in Congress, we have finally passed legislation that will make sure the VA gets its health care budget on time so that it can worry about its number one priority: care for our nation’s veterans. Only three times over the last two decades has Congress provided the VA with its budget on time. This law will change that.â€
In another important development, after years of pressure from veterans groups, Secretary Eric K. Shinseki announced last week that the VA has decided to accept the connection between Agent Orange exposure and Parkinson’s disease, B cell leukemias, and ischemic heart disease. Veterans who have a presumed illness and served in Vietnam will no longer need to prove an association between their illness and their military service.
