Issue Position: Veterans

Issue Position

As a physician and the son of a World War II veteran, I understand how important it is to provide the health care benefits our veterans earned by wearing the uniform and honorably serving their country. After their service, I do not believe we should disregard their great sacrifices.

At a time when our nation's veteran population is steadily aging and the VA system is increasingly receiving more veterans from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, we must proved the resources and infrastructure to meet the growing demand for services. Furthermore, I believe the Washington, D.C. one-size fits all policy should not be applied to rural states like Wyoming . Our veterans in many cases travel for miles for care and we must ensure that our rural Wyoming veterans are not forgotten by providing access to the care. I am resolute in fighting for our veterans and future veterans so that they receive the health care and benefits at top notch and fully staffed facilities in Wyoming and across the country.
