Why did the GOP vote against vet healthcare bill?

VA Secretary’s Statement on the Passage of the PACT Act

“Veterans who were exposed to toxic fumes while fighting for our country are American heroes, and they deserve world-class care and benefits for their selfless service. The bipartisan PACT Act will help VA deliver for those Veterans—and their survivors—by empowering us to presumptively provide care and benefits to Vets suffering from more than 20 toxic exposure-related conditions.

To those Veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors: you can apply for PACT Act benefits by filing a claim at VA.gov, and you can learn more about the PACT Act at The PACT Act And Your VA Benefits | Veterans Affairs or by calling us at 1-800-MyVA411. VA will be communicating with you every step of the way to make sure that you and your loved ones get the benefits you’ve earned.

I couldn’t be more grateful to President Biden, who made this day possible by fighting like hell for our nation’s Veterans. Once the President signs this bill into law, VA will implement it quickly and effectively, delivering the care these Veterans need and the benefits they deserve.”

– VA Secretary Denis R. McDonough

@WuWei

Brandon sign it yet?

He can do that before it’s voted on?

[WuWei]

They haven’t voted on it yet?

[sikofit]

Not even the Senate

[WuWei]

Well… hurry up!

@WuWei

Well… hurry up!

Edit: I was mistaken

It has, in fact, passed both the House and the Senate.

It has not yet been presented to Biden to sign, I imagine that will happen in the next few days.

Actually I think it was scheduled to be signed but he tested positive again and he wants to make this a public signing.

The bill should be called inflation on steroids. It will certainly boost an already horrible inflation.

Wrong bill, we were talking about the VA burn pit bill.

Wrong bill, we were talking about the VA burn pit bill.

Thought you were talking about the green new deal mess of a bill.

Good direct information. Is there more about the other portions of the bill that define the Camp Lejeune portion of the same bill? They also discuss Ft Mclellan, Agent Orange and death benefits, but I would be interested to know what others think of Section 804 of the bill.
