Washington, DC—U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) released the below statement following the Congressional passage of the bipartisan Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022:
“The passage of the bipartisan PACT Act is a crucial step forward to ensure that our veterans have access to health care services—many of which are currently unavailable for soldiers recovering from post 9/11 wartime toxic exposures,” said Congressman Cuellar.
“I have always supported our veterans and look forward to President Biden signing this bill into law expeditiously.
Thank you to my colleagues, across both chambers and parties, for prioritizing our service members. ”
The PACT Act opens up access to VA health care to 3.5 million post 9/11 combat veterans potentially exposed to deadly toxins. It is historic legislation that will deliver all generations of toxic-exposed veterans their long-overdue VA health care and benefits.
