On April 15, 2022, standing at Veterans Memorial Park in Auburn, NY, flanked by veterans from across Central New York suffering from conditions related to toxic exposure during their service and not receiving the care they deserve and local organizations who advocate for them, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer called for the Senate to pass the Honoring Our Promise To Address Comprehensive Toxins Act (Honoring Our PACT Act), which passed the House of Representatives last month and is supported by President Biden. The legislation would extend health care eligibilities to veterans, reform how the VA studies and adopts presumptions of service condition for toxic exposures and allow toxic-exposed veterans to address the full range of health impacts by accessing full benefits and healthcare through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). As Majority Leader, Schumer said he will bring the bill for a vote this Congress and make sure every member will go on the record to show how much they really support veterans.
