Grassley Votes to Improve Toxic-Exposed Veterans' Access to Health Care

Press Release

This evening, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) once again voted to pass the Honoring Our PACT Act of 2022, which addresses numerous matters related to veterans exposed to toxic substances during their service.

"Since 9/11, over 3.5 million veterans have suffered from toxic exposure, and many more have faced other adverse health effects from their selfless service. The bipartisan Honoring Our PACT Act is a critical investment in our veterans, who deserve the best care possible. By making much-needed improvements to the VA, including strengthening its workforce and health care facilities, this bill will help ensure veterans who have sacrificed so much to defend freedom, peace and prosperity will be well taken care of. We've promised to care for our military men and women who sacrificed for our freedoms. This bill helps to keep that promise," Grassley said.

The bill passed the Senate with bipartisan support. It now heads to President Biden's desk to be signed into law.
