America’s 24 million veterans dedicated everything to serving our country.  They trusted that if they stood behind their country, their country would stand behind them. 

Tragically, the government’s support for sick and disabled veterans is under constant threat each year.  The current funding mechanism for veterans’ health care is unreliable and subject to political posturing, cost-cutting and budget gimmicks. 

The Partnership for Veterans Health Care Budget Reform supports legislation in Congress that guarantees sufficient, timely and predictable funding for veterans health care.   A change is necessary to ensure that all eligible veterans – including those injured in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere – have timely access to the quality medical care they need and deserve.
