Veterans Deserve Better


Senator Murray spoke on the Senate floor in favor of an amendment to increase funding for veterans healthcare by $1.5 billion. The President has proposed a budget that would impose new fees and co-payments on America’s veterans and will limit their access to care.

Senator Murray is working to block those fees and boost funding for all veterans. Murray’s effort would:


Help more Iraq War veterans make the transition home by providing $231 million for transition assistance;
Increase Support for PTSD and Mental Healthcare by providing an additional $321 million;
Expand Veteran Support Clinics by providing $81 million to expand Vet Centers around the country to provide daily support and assistance to veterans;
Eliminate new Fees and Co-Payments;
and support rehabilitation by providing $42 million to expand residential rehabilitation services for veterans.
Last week, Murray used her position on the Budget Committee to offer a similar amendment, which was defeated on a party-line vote. Details
