- In March of 2003, Clinton voted against a budget resolution that called for “$13 billion for veterans to receive concurrent disability and retirement benefits.”
- In May of 2006, Clinton voted against an amendment that would have added $20 million for veterans’ health care facilities. It offset additional spending by striking $20 million in the underlying bill for AmeriCorps.
- Little over one year later, Clinton was one of only 14 senators to vote against a 2007 supplemental appropriations bill that contained $1.8 billion for veterans’ health care. The funding would have assisted with mental health, benefit claims, and the backlog maintaining VA facilities. It also included an additional $2 billion for military heath care at Walter Reed and other hospitals, including Traumatic Stress Disorder/Counseling and the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) care and research.
- A little over seven months ago, Clinton downplayed a VA scandal that involved 30% of veterans dying as they waited for health care.
