MED FOR VETS BILLS ADVANCE IN HOUSE

The House Veterans’ Affairs Committee advanced two bills which would increase veterans’ access to MED.
The Hill

• One bill, sponsored by Rep. Lou Correa (D-Calif), would require the VA to research MED on PTSD and related conditions.
• The second bill, sponsored by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) would permit VA providers to offer MED cards.
• VA doctors currently can’t discuss therapeutic MED use with patients.
