I just showed you several major accomplishments Trump achieved to help veterans. Why do you lie and try to deny the huge positive change made in Veteran's healthcare under President Trump. Here are even more details
Signed and implemented the VA Mission Act, which made permanent Veterans CHOICE, revolutionized the VA community care system, and delivered quality care closer to home for Veterans
The number of Veterans who say they trust VA services has increased 19 percent to a record 91 percent, an all-time high
Offered same-day emergency mental health care at every VA medical facility, and secured $9.5 billion for mental health services in 2020
Signed the VA Choice and Quality Employment Act of 2017, which ensured that veterans could continue to see the doctor of their choice and wouldn’t have to wait for care
During the Trump Administration, millions of veterans have been able to choose a private doctor in their communities
Expanded Veterans’ ability to access telehealth services, including through the “Anywhere to Anywhere” VA healthcare initiative
Signed the Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act and removed thousands of VA workers who failed to give our Vets the care they so richly deserve
Signed the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017 and improved the efficiency of the VA, setting record numbers for appeals decisions
Modernized medical records to begin a seamless transition from the Department of Defense to the VA
Launched a new tool that provides Veterans with online access to average wait times and quality-of-care data
Formed the PREVENTS Task Force to fight the tragedy of Veteran suicide
