AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Senators from New England and North Carolina want to expand health care options for veterans who suffered exposure to toxic substances.
Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire said the Toxic Exposure in the American Military Act would improve how veterans exposed to the substances receive care and benefits. Collins said the act would make sure that treatment for conditions related to toxic exposures would be covered at no cost to the patient.
