Yesterday the Senate passed the Health Care for Burn Pits Veterans Act, led by my friends @SenatorTester and @JerryMoran. Huge step forward, that I am proud to support because it makes a difference now while we keep working for more.
Veterans in Vermont and @VTNationalGuard have died of rare #cancer after service exposure to burn pits. I’m proud to co-sponsor Health Care for Burn Pits Veterans Act which strengthens toxic exposure research and helps @DeptVetAffairs understand links btwn exposure and illness. 
The Health Care for Burn Pit Veterans Act expands access to @DeptVetAffairs health care to all Post-9/11 combat veterans and helps ensure #burnpit exposure-related illnesses get early identification and treatment.
Providing care and benefits to veterans suffering from conditions caused by toxic exposure is a cost of war that must be paid. That's why we're teaming up on the Health Care for Burn Pit Veterans Act, to offer Post-9/11 toxic-exposed combat veterans access to VA health care.
