"A grateful nation pays its debts. It does not send veterans the bill." Craig Romanovich, the Executive Director of the @unionveterans, spoke out against the Take Benefits from America's Veterans Act. Veterans like Craig shouldn't have to fight for the benefits they are owed.
Bipartisanship looks like, RM @RepMarkTakano discharging a Republican-led bill, with 337 cosponsors. A bill both parties want. Even the Secretary of Defense supports it. Let's deliver for our nation's veterans and pass the Major Richard Star Act for our combat-injured veterans.
We should be honoring veterans’ service — not cutting their benefits. The Take Care of America's Veterans Act raises costs, reduces care, and shifts resources away from the VA. I’m standing with our veterans and against this bill.
@HouseVetAffairs@RepBost@VFWHQ@VFWHQ is standing up against those who would take benefits away from veterans. Which side of this do you really wanna be on? Traitors.
Awww did somebody try to harm veterans and then get butthurt when veterans groups stood up for what’s right? Maybe try a little more governing and a little less treason. Hurting veterans =aid&comfort to the enemy
This type of rhetoric is dangerous, unacceptable, and spreads needless fear in the veteran community.
H.R. 9237 does not cut VA disability payments for sleep apnea, tinnitus, or any other condition.
It does not dismiss these conditions existing, or the potential tie these conditions could have to a veteran’s military service.
That's not a talking point, it's a fact.
What H.R. 9237 actually does: simply allows VA’s disability ratings schedule to reflect the effective medical treatment that is associated with sleep apnea and the modern medicine that shows that tinnitus is linked to another medical disorder.
Veterans living with these conditions now – as well as future veterans – would continue to be adequately compensated and support by VA’s disability benefits system. Period. Read the bill. Know the facts. Full stop.
@RepBost awww did somebody try to harm veterans and then get butthurt when veterans groups pushed back? Maybe don’t try taking away veteran benefits, you traitor
