Scott promised during the 2014 special Senate campaign to protect veterans' health benefits. During the unexpired Senate term he won, he voted for H.R. 3236, which passed the Senate and was signed into law in 2015. The law provided resource flexibility for Department of Veterans Affairs health care services and amended veterans health care access policy, making this a same-term enacted federal action reasonably tied to the promise.
