BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

“It’s always been my belief that when our servicemembers and veterans signed up to serve, there was no waiting line, so when they come home, there shouldn’t be a waiting line to access the benefits they deserve. That is why I spent years working alongside Minnesota veterans and families to make sure veterans suffering from exposure-related illnesses could get care through the VA. This announcement will accelerate the rollout of these new benefits and allow millions of veterans who bravely served our country to receive care from the VA up to eight years earlier than previously possible.”
