As your next Congresswomen, I support:​​

 

• Authorizing the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure that TRICARE and Medicare pay for medical treatments without burdening service-members and veterans with bills and demands for payment.

• Modernizing the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to fully integrate health record systems to follow a service-   member/veteran from boot camp to grave.

• Repairing all dilapidated barracks and family housing.

• Protecting service-members from predators within the ranks that seek to cause harm to our dedicated men and women.

• Prioritizing oversight over the Department of Defense to ensure that contractors are not wasting precious defense funds, and   oversee the protection of service-members and their families.

• Expanding telemedicine and telehealth options of VA services so as to better serve veterans who have to drive long distances VA clinics in Elko, Fallon, Gardnerville, and Reno. 

• Making nursing home eligibility part of the VA health benefits package.

• H.R. 2191, the Veterans Cannabis Use for Safe Healing Act, which would prohibit the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from   denying a veteran benefit administered by the secretary by reason of the veteran participating in a State-approved marijuana   program. 33 states have legalized marijuana for either medical or recreational use. 

• Fully funding Post – 9/11 GI Bill benefits for veterans and their families.
