The House Veterans Affairs Committee has passed three bills that would expand services to veterans through the VA and increase education benefits for VA health professionals.
The Chiropractic Care to All Veterans Acts, HR-1017, would require the VA to expand veterans’ access to chiropractic care and services at their local VA facilities.
The Assuring Quality Care for Veterans Act, HR-5145, would increase the reimbursement for continuing professional education for all health care professionals employed by the VA.
The Veterans Dog Training Therapy Act, HR-3885, would require VA to conduct a five-year pilot program for relieving veterans’ post-deployment mental health and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms through training service dogs for veterans with disabilities.
The bills will next be voted on by the full House.
