The candidate will require the VA to provide Congress with an analysis of the accessibility and health outcomes of services at VA medical facilities through the Whole Veteran Act.
Occurrences
Evidence
The enrolled text for H.R. 2359 says the Whole Veteran Act requires the VA to report on whole health transformation and include an analysis of the accessibility and availability of VA services plus an assessment of the health outcomes derived from those services.
Congress.gov's 116th Congress public laws list shows PL 116-185 as the Whole Veteran Act, enacted on 10/30/2020.
Assessments
The promised reporting requirement was enacted in the 116th Congress when the Whole Veteran Act became Public Law 116-185 on October 30, 2020, and the law does require the VA to provide Congress with analysis of service accessibility/availability and resulting health outcomes. But the available evidence shows H.R. 2359 was sponsored by Rep. Conor Lamb, not Brian K. Fitzpatrick, and it does not establish that Fitzpatrick wrote, sponsored, or materially advanced the measure beyond general support. Because the outcome was delivered in the same term but the candidate-specific credit shown here is limited, partial credit is the best fit.
