WASHINGTON–U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Tuesday released the following statement after Senate passage of the PACT Act:
“After almost a week of holding veterans’ health care hostage in a tantrum over an unrelated bill, I’m glad Republicans came to their senses and backed down. This legislation will ensure that the brave men and women exposed to toxic chemicals and burn pits in their service to our country get the benefits and comprehensive health care they earned. It’s well past time this became law,” said Murphy.
Last week, Murphy slammed Senate Republicans for blocking passage of the legislation.
