That means we should reform our veteran’s healthcare system to ensure that affordable health care remains available to our military members and their families, both while they are serving and after. ... I will continue to fight to see that this obligation is honored.
Continue to fight to reform veterans' health care so affordable care remains available to service members and their families.
Occurrences
I am a strong supporter of healthcare for our veterans, and recognize the importance of providing full access to all benefits our veterans have earned, through an easily accessible and affordable system.
Evidence
The issue page states that providing affordable healthcare for military members and their families, both when in uniform and after they have retired, is one of Foxx's priorities in Congress, and that she is a strong supporter of healthcare for veterans.
Foxx announced the introduction of the Transparency in Billing Act, saying the bill is intended to increase transparency and provide a positive course correction that puts patients first and help ensure that health care costs are driven by quality rather than market power.
Assessments
The evidence shows Foxx continued to express support for affordable health care for service members, families, and veterans, and introduced a health care billing-transparency bill during the same federal term. However, the cited bill is general health care reform rather than a veterans-specific health care reform measure, and the record provided does not show enactment of a veterans health care reform outcome that preserves affordable care. This supports partial credit for continued effort, not full delivery of the promised veterans health care result.
