Bill Summary
Women have played a vital role as members of the military of our nation. Therefore, women veterans deserve the investment of every possible resource to ensure their well-being. All eligible women veterans have access to certain medical screenings either on-site at United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals or at facilities in the community. However, increased funding would permit VA hospitals to be able to provide all routine care screenings for women veterans on-site, removing the need for women veterans to travel to various locations for their routine screenings. Investing in the well-being of women veterans not only benefits those veterans, it benefits every citizen of the United States, as such an investment ensures that these individuals will thrive in their civilian lives.
AI Summary
This resolution urges Congress to require United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals to offer all routine medical screenings for women veterans directly at each hospital location. The VA is a government department responsible for providing healthcare and other services to eligible veterans. The resolution highlights that women veterans have made significant contributions to the military and deserve comprehensive care, noting that currently, some screenings may require women veterans to travel to different facilities, causing inconvenience and burden. By providing all routine screenings on-site, the VA can better ensure the well-being and health of women veterans, allowing them to thrive in their civilian lives.
