Pittsburgh’s TribLive.com reports that Sen. Pat Toomey is fighting for our veterans:
The Department of Veterans Affairs is failing to make enough rural health care available to veterans who live far from VA medical centers, a breakdown that violates the intent of a 2014 federal law, more than two dozen senators say.
They helped pass the Veterans Choice, Access and Accountability Act, meant in part to improve health care access for veterans who live more than 40 miles from VA facilities or who must wait more than a month for VA care.
Toomey reiterated his commitment to veterans, and promised to fight for them to get the health care they need:
“We need to make it easier, not more difficult, for veterans to get the care they need and earned, regardless of whether they live in a rural area or a big city. I am going to continue to press the VA to ensure that this happens,” Toomey, R-Lehigh Valley, said in a statement to the Tribune-Review.

As Stuart Rothenberg writes, Toomey is a strong candidate. More important, though, he cares and fights for all Pennsylvanians.
