House appropriators will unveil their initial plans for fiscal 2023 spending this week while Senate lawmakers prepare to spend nearly $300 billion to better compensate veterans who suffered toxic exposures during their time in the ranks.
The Senate is expected early this week to advance their revision of the Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act, a package of benefits and medical care expansions that is estimated to total $278 billion over the next decade and benefit as many as one in every five living veterans today.
