The House and Senate have passed very different
bills dealing with funding for veterans' health care. House Republican
leaders resisted efforts to substantially increase funding for veterans'
health care.
As a result, the bill passed by the House provides $2.3 billion less
than the Senate passed bill for health care for our nation s veterans.
Take Action!The House and Senate will soon have to conference and iron
out the differences between their bills. UAW activists should contact
their Representative and Senators and urge them to insist that the House-Senate
conferees approve the additional $2.3 billion in the Senate bill for
funding veterans' health care.
Tell them that the men and women who risked their lives for our nation
deserve adequate health care! UAW activists should call their Representative
and Senators on this important issue. Or email your Region 8 Representative
and express your thoughts today!
