Requires future military actions to include funding for veterans' medical care and benefits.
Today, Congress doesn't have to set aside money for veterans' care when they authorize military force. This bill would change that. It would require any future authorization for military action to also include permission to spend money for veterans' medical care, disability pay, and other benefits.
Currently, when Congress approves military force or declares war, they don't have to include permission to spend money for veterans' care at the same time. This bill would change that.
