Issue Position: Standing Up for Our Veterans

Issue Position

We made a commitment to the men and women who serve our country in uniform, a commitment that we haven't always lived up to. In Congress I've fought to make sure that Maine's veterans get the benefits and care they deserve. I've written and supported legislation to make it easier for veterans suffering from PTSD to get care and ensure that Maine Guard and Reserve retirees get their full pensions. And when a former Togus employee came to me to say that Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield had used find print to deny $500,000 in veterans claims, I went straight to the president of the company and demanded that they make good on those claims, and he agreed.
