U.S. Senator Jerry Moran, chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, led a markup session on 24 bills this week, including his Veterans’ ACCESS Act. The legislation aims to expand access to critical care for veterans both in their communities and at VA medical facilities.

“I wish to express our support for S. 275, Veterans’ ACCESS Act of 2025, to enhance the provision of health care to veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) community care program,” said Kristina Keenan, Director of the National Legislative Service, Veterans of Foreign Wars. “This legislation strengthens and upholds the integrity of the VA health care system, affirming the commitment to meeting veterans’ needs with the respect, dignity, and efficiency they deserve.”

The bill has received broad support from leading veterans service organizations, including the Veterans of Foreign Wars, The American Legion, Wounded Warrior Project, Vietnam Veterans of America, the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, Paralyzed Veterans of America, the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, and Disabled American Veterans.
