Calvert and House VA Committee Chairman Mike Bost Issue Joint Statement on Veterans Issues | 2024-10-31 | 2024 | 2024-10 | Republican | House | CA | Ken Calvert | C000059 | calvert.house.gov | calvert | https://calvert.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | “On October 16, we met with local veterans and Veteran Service Organizations at the Palm Springs Air Museum to address critical issues in veterans' health care. Listening to veterans share their struggles with referral delays and inefficiencies at the Loma Linda VA, and the lack of accountability among senior VA leaders underscored the urgent need for veteran-centered reforms to hold failing leaders accountable. That’s why we’re leading H.R. 2478, the Restore VA Accountability Act, to bring accountability back to VA nationwide, for good. One key concern raised was the lack of reliable transportation in the region, which forces many veterans to face unnecessary logistical barriers when it comes to receiving essential healthcare. This is unacceptable. We are committed to advancing legislation that holds the entire VA accountable – including Loma Linda VA employees – to ensure that no veteran encounters barriers when receiving the timely, high-quality care they have earned. Together, we are fighting to create a health care system that prioritizes transparency, accountability, and respect for those who have served our country. Veterans gave their all for this nation, and it is our duty to honor that sacrifice by building a system that meets their needs no matter what.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
