Washington, D.C. –  Congressman Ralph Norman (SC-05) voted in favor of H.R. 5674, the Department of Veterans Affairs Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks “MISSION” Act. By passing this legislation, the House has allowed the VA’s community care programs to be consolidated into one program, ensures veterans can access care in a reasonable amount of time, expands the VA’s Post 9/11 Caregiver Program to all eras, and provides further funding for the VA Choice Program.

Congressman Norman has released the following statement:

"For far too long, the VA has failed to live up to their promise to always and adequately take care of the brave men and women who have sacrificed everything to defend and protect this nation. Our veterans deserve the best.

“The VA MISSION Act is a great step in the right direction for the VA to start fulfilling their promises. These reforms will drastically help ensure that our veterans are getting the care they need and have earned, and in a timely manner too.

“Change will be coming to the VA and it will improve the lives of our veterans. It is the least we can do for them.”
