Harris Issues Statement on Passage of VA MISSION Act | 2018-05-16 | 2018 | 2018-05 | Republican | House | MD | Andy Harris | H001052 | harris.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, DC: On May 16, the U.S. House of Representatives passed S. 2372, the VA MISSION Act. The VA MISSION Act institutes critical reforms to the VAs health care system and funds the VA Choice Program. Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) released the following statement after the bill was passed: As a physician and a veteran, I believe every veteran deserves accessible, high quality health care. For too long, bureaucratic red tape has forced veterans on the Eastern Shore to travel all the way to Baltimore for procedures that can be performed locally at most Shore hospitals and at other medical facilities. The VA MISSION Act will streamline the VAs community care programs, fund the VA Choice Program, and expand the VAs Post-9/11 Caregiver Program to all veterans. I applaud my colleagues in the House for passing these reforms, so the VA can provide veterans the care they deserve. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
