The VFW supports the comprehensive Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act. Veterans and survivors can benefit from many of the bill's provisions. It would expand the caregiver program to those who serve our nation’s veterans. Ensuring veterans can receive care in the VA or the community is crucial to their quality of life. We must continue to enhance services and benefits to provide all veterans with access to care and prompt mental health services. Caregivers also need the resources required to properly care for our selfless men and women. Additionally, veterans should not be financially burdened when receiving ambulatory services for emergency care.
