Murphy Applauds Passage of Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act

Washington, D.C. — Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. applauds the passage of H.R. 8371, the Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act to ensure our veterans have access to modern, high-quality care and services that they have earned.

"Our veterans, and their families, sacrificed so much in defense of our freedom," said Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. "We must make good on our promise to deliver the care and services they were promised upon their commitment to fighting for our nation. As the representative of over 76,000 veterans, several military installations, and a member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, one of my highest priorities is holding the VA accountable. I have not been satisfied with its track record since coming to Congress, especially in recent years. I am determined to make meaningful reforms to improve the quality of outcomes for our heroes. This legislation is a much-needed step in the right direction. Thank you to the tireless efforts of Chairman Bost, and the rest of the committee, throughout this year to deliver this package."
