Jeff Miller Gets Support of Conservative Group on VA Reform

Conservative group Heritage Action weighed in on Monday, praising U.S. Rep. Jeff Millers, R-Fla., efforts to reform the federal Department of Veterans Affairs. Miller, the chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, is currently leading the House contingent on veterans reform as it conferences with the Senate.

The treatment of our veterans has rightly shocked the public, but Congress should resist the temptation to do what it always does in these situations: throw money at the problem, said Michael Needham, the CEO of Heritage Action, on Monday. Heritage Action supports Chairman Millers call to offset any additional spending and force the VA to justify those requests. There is no doubt Congress must act, but it must do so in a fiscally responsible manner that ensures veterans receive the care they deserve.
