Walberg Votes to Expand Veterans’ Health Care Choices
March 2, 2015
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) voted for bipartisan legislation today to expand health care choices for veterans and increase accountability at the Department of Veterans Affairs. H.R. 280 would allow the VA Secretary to recoup bonuses from employees who collected them under false pretenses. H.R. 294, the Long-Term Care Veterans Choice Act, would provide eligible veterans with the option of choosing medical foster home care.
"America's veterans deserve nothing less than timely, high quality medical care in return for their service to our country. A VA system that fails to live up to that standard is simply unacceptable and in dramatic need of reform. Today the House took several additional steps to improve the lives of veterans, expand their health care choices, and bring much-needed accountability to the VA," said Walberg.
Congressman Walberg serves on the House Education and the Workforce Committee as Chair of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee. In addition, he serves on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. For more information on Walberg's work in Congress visit walberg.house.gov.
