Sen. Moran Applauds Unanimous Support of Veterans Choice Program

Statement

U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) -- chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies -- applauded the Senate's unanimous passage of legislation Sen. Moran helped develop to make certain veterans can continue to access care in the community through the Veterans Choice Program. The legislation passed the House of Representatives with a bipartisan vote of 414-0.

"I am pleased the Senate unanimously supported critical legislation to appropriate the funds necessary for the Veterans Choice Program to continue offering veterans access to healthcare closer to home," said Sen. Moran. "Since Congress created this important program in 2014, I have worked to make certain our veterans in Kansas and across the country benefit from the access to quality and timely healthcare the Choice network provides. Veterans deserve the best our nation has to offer, and this is a proven program that veterans like and need. I urge the president to quickly sign this bill into law so our nation's heroes can continue to receive increased access to healthcare in their communities."
