Democrats refuse to examine ‘unacceptable’ veteran health care delays
Fox News
Republicans are seeking information about veteran health care wait times at the Department of Veterans Affairs, but House Democrats rejected their formal request for information.
But Democrats still hold a majority on the committee in this lame-duck session of Congress and voted to report it unfavorably to the floor, effectively killing it. Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.
Unacceptably long wait times at VA — in addition to efforts at VA to cover up those wait times — is what finally prompted Congress to pass the Mission Act in 2018. When the law took effect under President Trump, it allowed millions of veterans to seek care outside the VA system for several reasons, including long wait times at VA.
