Senator Baldwin Celebrates One-Year Anniversary of Delivering Earned Health Care and Benefits for Toxic-Exposed Veterans
Press Release
Issues: Veterans Health and Health Care
"Our veterans and their families have made immense sacrifices, and we have a commitment to do right by those who served our country. But sadly, for too long, we have come up short on our end of the bargain. We know that our veterans who were exposed to burn pits and other toxins while serving are at risk for very serious health outcomes, including cancer, and it was simply wrong for the VA to deny them health care and disability benefits. I am so proud to have helped right this wrong and fulfill our commitment to those who served to ensure they have access to the care and benefits they earned."
