WASHINGTON,
DC
-
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
sent
below
statement
after
the
President
signed
the
VA
Mission
Act
into
law
earlier
this
afternoon:
“After
sacrificing
so
much
throughout
their
military
careers,
our
veterans
should
have
access
to
high
quality
care,”
said
Scott.
“The
current
VA
healthcare
program
still
has
unacceptable
wait
times
and
falls
short
of
providing
the
care
our
veterans
have
both
earned
and
deserve.
The
VA
Mission
Act
is
designed
to
fix
current
inefficiencies
that
will
cut
wait
times,
streamline
services,
and
provide
better
care.
It
also
expands
a
much
needed
caregiver
program.
I
was
proud
to
vote
for
this
important
legislation
last
month
and
am
incredibly
grateful
to
see
it
become
law
today.”
