Sec. 621 - the Veterans ACCESS Act
The ACCESS Act would codify access standards for mental health care & expand access to life-saving mental health residential rehabilitation treatment programs (RRTP) for veterans at-risk of suicide or overdose deaths. In 2027, more than 40,000 veterans are expected to receive treatment through these programs. By standardizing clinical screenings & improving performance & oversight of these programs, thousands of veteran lives could be saved and improved.

For too long, veterans have been denied the health care choices they deserve. The Veterans’ ACCESS Act will finally put 𝙑𝙀𝙏𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙉𝙎 𝙁𝙄𝙍𝙎𝙏—ensuring they have real options for both VA and community care.
What is the difference between community care and the Veterans’ ACCESS Act?
One expands health care choices for those who rely on the VA, the other requires the VA to offer these options at ease to the patient, as @SenJonHusted explains.
This is a good start. Looking forward to working with our @ConcernedVets team and members of Congress to ensure the Veterans’ Access Act language stays in when the bill passes.

As veteran representation in Congress declines, so does the firsthand experience of those who’ve answered the nation’s call to serve.
@PatHarriganNC on why America needs more veteran voices in Washington.
82 years ago, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy and descended from the skies to break Hitler’s grip on Europe.
Some were just 17 years old, yet they fought with courage, grit, and resolve.
May their sacrifice and legacy continue to inspire today’s soldiers.
That is personal courage: doing the mission when fear is real, the odds are uncertain, and the cost could be everything.
The legacy of WWII airborne soldiers still lives on in today’s Army and in every soldier who chooses courage over comfort.
Soldiers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions jumped into darkness over Nazi-occupied France, scattered behind enemy lines, often far from their units and commanders.
They pressed on anyway, seizing bridges, disrupting enemy movements, and helping clear the way.
