Work to pass the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act to make it easier for veterans, especially those with mental health conditions or addiction, to receive life-saving care at VA facilities and in the community.

Sen. Moran recently introduced the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act, which would build on the progress of the MISSION Act and Dole Act.

Moran highlighted his Take Care of America’s Veterans Act as a future legislative vehicle to expand veterans’ access to VA and community care, especially for mental health and addiction treatment.

The June 2026 news-release index lists: "6/26/26 Sen. Moran Applauds VA’s Community Care Contributions to Veterans & Kansas Health Care Providers."

Within the 2026-06-07 to 2026-07-06 lookback window, Moran's official site showed continued attention to VA community care rather than abandonment or reversal. The listing alone is a weak but current official signal because the article body was not accessible in the web fetch.

Moran's official veterans issue page says he "sponsored the MISSION Act, which replaced the Choice Act by broadening community care criteria, making those options more accessible and flexible for veterans" and that he would monitor implementation so Kansas veterans can access care. The same page says the Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act increased access to mental health care for rural veterans and established community partnership grants.

Moran's current official issue page claims continued work on the VA MISSION/community-care law and separately cites mental-health-care expansion. This supports delivery of the access-to-VA-and-community-care commitment, with related mental health work, though it is partly self-reported.

Congress.gov identifies S.2193 as the "Caring for our Veterans Act of 2017" and says it would establish a Veterans Community Care Program for hospital care, medical services, and extended care through non-VA providers, replace the Veterans Choice Program, and require processes for safe opioid prescribing by non-VA providers. Its status remained "Introduced."

The named precursor bill matched the promise's substance, including community care and opioid-related safeguards, but did not itself become law. It is best treated as a partial legislative step that was later folded into enacted legislation.

Congress.gov shows S.2372 became Public Law No. 115-182 on June 6, 2018. Its public-law summary lists "TITLE I--CARING FOR OUR VETERANS" and "Caring for Our Veterans Act of 2018," establishing the Veterans Community Care Program to provide hospital care, medical services, and extended care through non-VA providers and requiring coordination to avoid lapses or excessive burdens in access.

The VA MISSION Act enacted the Caring for Our Veterans title and created the community-care framework promised in the commitment. This is the strongest proof of delivery.

GovInfo's public law text states the Act was enacted June 6, 2018 and was "To establish a permanent community care program for veterans." It includes "TITLE I--Caring for Our Veterans Act of 2018," "Sec. 101. Establishment of Veterans Community Care Program," and "Sec. 131. Establishment of processes to ensure safe opioid prescribing practices by non-Department of Veterans Affairs health care providers."

The enacted statutory text directly establishes the promised community-care program and includes addiction-relevant opioid-prescribing safeguards, confirming substantive delivery rather than only passage of a similarly named bill.

The Senate roll-call page lists the question as the motion to concur in the House amendment to S.2372, the VA MISSION Act of 2018. The motion was agreed to, 92-5, on May 23, 2018, and the alphabetical vote list records "Moran (R-KS), Yea."

Moran took a concrete official action in favor of final Senate passage of the enacted VA MISSION Act, satisfying the "work to pass" component of the commitment.
