Griffin Works to Ensure Veterans Receive Quality Care

Statement

Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) issued the following statement after the House passed the Conference Report to Accompany H.R. 3230, the Veterans' Access to Care through Choice, Accountability, and Transparency Act of 2014 to address the ongoing issues at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and help veterans gain access to health care:

"Today's bill takes the first step to ensure America's veterans receive the quality health care they need, deserve and have earned in a timely manner regardless of whether it is provided at a VA, private or other medical facility. The bill includes recently passed House proposals to improve our VA health system, hold VA executives accountable and help ensure that the mistreatment of our veterans never happens again. I applaud the collaborative efforts to finalize this comprehensive bill, and I remain committed to working with my colleagues to enact effective reforms at the VA and keep our nation's promise to take care of America's heroes."
