Our nation's veterans and wounded warriors have sacrificed in defense of our country. Their dedication and commitment, along with that of their families, has ensured our freedom and should never be taken for granted.
Our veterans deserve the absolute highest quality medical care and benefits for their service. We must ensure that returning military members have access to every benefit they have been promised, As such, Congress should focus on stringent oversight of the VA to ensure veterans are getting the services they need. I will continue to put our veterans first, and fight for legislation that removes barriers for our returning veterans.

“America’s veterans deserve to have the highest quality treatment available to them and requiring there to be an anesthesiologist caring for them before surgery will help ensure they receive the best care. Unfortunately, some proposals have sought to remove this requirement. I am opposed to these proposals and will continue to advocate for Michigan veterans in Congress,” said Moolenaar. “I want to thank the Michigan Society of Anesthesiologists for their support and for their advocacy on behalf of our nation’s veterans.”

The bill also includes my proposal to save billions of dollars in unused COVID funding and avoids a disastrous default on the national debt. Finally, the bill brings accountability back to the government and saves billions of dollars by adding work requirements for welfare for able-bodied Americans,” said Moolenaar.

“Our veterans deserve the best care and they should never have to wait a long time to receive it.
