Congress just passed the Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act! Now the bill is on its way to President Biden’s desk at the White House to become law.
This bill creates a lot of incredible solutions to problems Veterans living with ALS and their caregivers face.
Importantly, Congress has stopped the threat of separating Veterans living with ALS from their caregivers and loved ones. Veterans can now continue to receive care in their home and no longer face a price cap that forces them out of their homes and into institutional care, sometimes hours from their homes and support networks.
Fill out this form to thank your US Senators and Representative for their support of Veterans and their caregivers.
The following nine members of Congress did not vote for the bill: Congresspeople Josh Brecheen (R-OK), Elijah Crane (R-AZ), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Bob Good (R-VA), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Matthew M. Rosendale, Sr. (R-MT), & Chip Roy (R-TX), and Keith Self (R-TX).
