Congressman John Moolenaar is a lead sponsor of legislation to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that was just passed by the House of Representatives. This legislation will create an online portal where veterans can track the status of formal complaints they file through the VA. The vote passing the bill was 411 to 1.
"Our veterans deserve the best care and I am proud to be a leading supporter of this legislation, which will create more accountability at the VA. Veterans must be able to track the status of their complaints, and this bill will make that possible,” said Moolenaar.
H.R. 5754, the Patient Advocate Tracker Act, was introduced in tandem with H.R. 5755, the Veterans Patient Advocacy Act, that is led by Congressman Moolenaar and Congresswoman Debbie Dingell. Moolenaar’s Veterans Patient Advocacy Act would require the VA to appropriately staff its patient advocacy programs by increasing the number of patient advocates for veterans.
