| Sent support letter to 1 legislator (Duarte) for bill HR.5530 the VA Emergency Transportation Access Act. This bill would limit the VA's ability to change payment rates for transporting veterans and eligible individuals on specialized transportation modes. Earlier this year the VA finalized a proposed the change to cut its reimbursement rates for emergency air medical transportation. This reduction could put an estimated 4/7 million veterans living in rural and remote communities who already struggle to get reliable access to health care at a greater risk. |
