12th District Republican Congressman Mike Bost has announced that his Take Care of America's Veterans Act has passed in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C.
Bost is the chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee and says the legislation expands healthcare and mental health services, advances education and job opportunities and gives additional support to Gold Star families and over 60,000 disabled veterans. The expansion of the services will positively impact millions of American servicemen and their families and ensure they can access the benefits they have earned.
He added that the next step is to work with the U.S. Senate on passage there and to get the bill to President Donald Trump's desk before the end of the year.
