Promising “swift action” to help suffering veterans, leaders of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee unveiled new legislation Tuesday that would extend health care coverage for separating troops for at least 10 years and mandate more screening of veterans for toxic exposure injuries.
However, the proposal was met by derision from some advocates, who called it less comprehensive than proposed House legislation and not ambitious enough considering the years of effort put into helping victims of military burn pits overseas.
