Recent Activity
Good morning. I would like to welcome Dr. Shereef Elnahal, Under Secretary for Health and Mr. Josh Jacobs, Under Secretary for Benefits at the Veterans Benefits Administration both of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The subcommittee recognizes and appreciates the work being done at the VA. We know that since the PACT Act, enrollment in VA health care has grown significantly as we provide earned benefits to our veterans.
Dr. Elnahal and Mr. Jacobs, welcome, and thank you for taking the time to appear here today to discuss this pressing issue affecting our veterans.
America’s long line of service is reflected through the millions of people who have served her in uniform across the nation, and I’m proud that nearly 236,000 veterans call Oklahoma home. We owe our freedoms to these heroes, and it is our duty to honor the commitments we’ve made to them. Our veterans should never be underserved – and they should never be misled to believe that their care and benefits are at risk.
