Kimberly Walker: Veterans

Florida

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

As a disabled veteran, Kim used the VA system after departing the military. Due to excessive wait periods, she became frustrated when scheduling an appointment. The VA has improved, but more needs to be done to guarantee that our veterans receive the excellent care they deserve.

Kim opposes the privatization of the VA and will strive to guarantee that the government keeps its end of the agreement. In recent years, the VA has created a program that allows Veterans to seek treatment from private medical providers. Kim understands that not all treatment can be performed at the VA; her greatest fear is the chiseling away VA's primary purpose. Kim will advocate in Congress to fund additional VA centers in rural areas that will bring the treatment our Veterans require closer to home and create jobs in the community.
