Carter Votes to Improve Care for Veterans

Press Release

Congressman Carter released the following statement after the House passed the Enhancing Veteran Care Act.

"Our veterans have sacrificed for our country and they deserve the very best care from the VA, but as we've seen time and time again, the VA system still needs significant reforms to ensure our American heroes are receiving the care they deserve. Unfortunately, the investigation and reform process can be slow moving, which can mean life or death for some veterans. The Enhancing Veteran Care Act will speed up the reform process by allowing the VA Secretary to partner with nonprofits that accredit health care organizations to investigate issues at the VA. The faster investigations into VA medical centers are concluded, the faster changes can be implemented, and the quicker our veterans can receive the care they deserve."
