HJR 10-VETERANS' HEALTH CARE
CHAIR MENARD announced the consideration of CSHJR 10(HSS).
9:06:50 AM
REPRESENTATIVE DAVID GUTTENBERG, Alaska State Legislature, said
this resolution asks the federal government to do a better job
with veteran healthcare. Alaska veterans often have to travel,
sometimes to Seattle, to get proper care. There are a variety of
clinics across the state that are available, "but they're not
V.A. [Veterans Administration]." HJR 10 asks the federal
government to have V.A. benefits "follow the vet" instead of be
anchored in a facility. It will strengthen the local economy by
keeping the money in communities, and it will allow veterans to
get better health care closer to where they live.
SENATOR FRENCH moved to report CS for HJR 10 from committee with
individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). There
being no objection, CSHJR 10(HSS) moved from committee.
