Thank you to @SenateVA Chair @JerryMoran, @SVACDems Ranking Member @SenatorTester, & their staffs for their work on S. 785. This bill – along with the Veterans' COMPACT Act – takes meaningful steps to improve the lives of veterans. Watch Chairman @RepMarkTakano's remarks ⬇️ https://t.co/WnWWlqSB9R
Learn more about the Veterans' COMPACT Act and read Chairman Takano's full statement. ⬇️ https://t.co/OrmSgTp7vW https://t.co/26wZX1HcaJ
BREAKING: Chairman @RepMarkTakano introduced the Veterans' COMPACT Act, a comprehensive package featuring 9 bills that complement S. 785. This package addresses gaps in current legislation by examining the factors that may lead to a veteran dying by suicide. https://t.co/SO9Zg984Jt
By passing S.785 as is, the Committee would be taking the "easier wrong." We would not be taking the more substantive approach to an issue that is personal for many veterans, families, Committee staff, & Chairman @RepMarkTakano. Real leadership comes from taking the harder right. https://t.co/6FqEHA1JTp
When it comes to reducing veteran suicide: We MUST rise above party and political expediency. We MUST meet the occasion with the courage and science this tragedy demands. We MUST choose the harder right, not the easier wrong. #WSPD2020 https://t.co/iF1PvMu2cf https://t.co/BLqXvJDTn6
Why has @RepJahanaHayes' VA #MentalHealth Counseling Act been endorsed by 14 mental health experts and veterans groups? Because it was written after listening to their feedback on what will be effective in preventing veteran suicide. https://t.co/g6rxavV1TI
.@DeptVetAffais needs every tool possible to meet the #MentalHealth challenges our veterans face. @RepConorLamb's bipartisan DATA Act allows VA to work with outside institutions to analyze data from its electronic health records to help improve veterans' quality of care. https://t.co/4OAzeuEIDR
Veterans often say that transition programs and resources are difficult to navigate. This sentiment – especially during the #COVID19 pandemic – illustrates the need for a ""no wrong door"" approach to VA transition resources. Watch Chairman @RepMikeLevin's opening remarks. https://t.co/x4pQUxC5d1
.@USPS' policies to prioritize veteran employment have helped thousands of servicemembers successfully transition to civilian life. @RepMikeLevin wants Postmaster General DeJoy to let the public know how changes at USPS will impact veteran employees' job security. QT @RepMikeLevin: The @USPS is one of the largest employers of veterans. Nearly 100,000 former servicemembers are on its payroll. If… https://t.co/qdY3SQ0tnm)
Today, @RepMalinowski introduced the bipartisan VA Serious Mental Illness Act. This bill helps VA practitioners better diagnose and care for veterans with a serious mental illness – a key step in preventing veteran suicide. https://t.co/syKGV6zoRn QT @Malinowski: The VA must do a better job supporting our veterans' mental health. I introduced a bipartisan bill today with Rep.… https://t.co/P9nSqmr3kC)
.@DeptVetAffairs sends 80 percent of ALL prescriptions to veterans by mail. Any changes to @USPS that result in delays of these prescriptions could seriously impact the health and well being of our country's veterans. https://t.co/emgwrnBBrQ
Approximately 80 percent of veterans receive their prescriptions by mail – usually within a 3-5 days. Any changes to @USPS that result in delays of these prescriptions could seriously impact the health and well being of our country's veterans. https://t.co/89H9qOiOGf
Veterans: Have the changes at @USPS caused any delays in how you receive your prescriptions or benefits from @DeptVetAffairs? The Committee wants to hear from you! Fill out our survey here ➡️ https://t.co/kVromHtR4i
