U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (Kan.) spoke Thursday on the U.S. Senate Floor regarding the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022. Moran says this legislation would deliver all generations of veterans suffering from toxic-exposure health care and benefits under the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Sen. Moran highlighted support from several Kansas veterans, including John Buckley, a retired U.S. Army Colonel from Andover.
Moran says among its many priorities, the package will expand health care for Post-9/11 combat veterans, create a framework for the establishment of future presumptions of service connection related to toxic exposure, expand the VA's list of service presumptions, and improve resources to support VA's claims processing.
