US EditionSen. John Cornyn Visits Tyler to Discuss New Bill to Improve Veteran's Quality of Care
- On May 29, 2025, bipartisan legislators Kelly Morrison of Minnesota and Chuck Edwards of North Carolina introduced a bill in Congress aimed at enhancing veteran healthcare and improving the accuracy of related data.
- They initiated this bill due to the Department of Veterans Affairs’ lack of accurate data on veteran deaths, which hinders understanding suicide causes and policy effectiveness.
- The legislation, titled Justice for America’s Veterans and Survivors Act, aims to increase transparency, improve mental health support, and ensure veterans receive earned benefits, supported by groups like TAPS, VFW, and MOAA.
- The Department of Veterans Affairs reports that 22 veterans die by suicide each day, while America’s Warrior Partnership estimates this number to be between 40 and 44; suicide ranks as the second most common cause of death among veterans younger than 45.
- This bipartisan effort highlights the urgent need for precise data to guide interventions and support families, reflecting Morrison’s and Edwards’ belief that veterans deserve nothing less given their sacrifices.
