Congressman Michael McCaul has expressed his support for the Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act. This legislation aims to ensure that veterans receive top-tier care from the United States.

McCaul, representing Texas, stated, "As the son of a World War II B-17 bombardier, I was proud to sponsor this comprehensive legislation that guarantees America’s heroes have all the resources they need." He added, "We owe current and future veterans an enormous debt of gratitude, and this bill brings us one step closer to giving them the assistance they deserve."

The act seeks to provide modern and high-quality services for veterans. It includes bipartisan proposals aimed at enhancing services delivered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The focus is on prioritizing veterans and their families.

The bill aligns with promises made by House Republicans to create a more efficient VA. It aims to expand economic and healthcare opportunities for veterans, modernize disability benefits claims processes, and hold the VA accountable to both taxpayers and veterans.
