Veterans are getting access to expanded health care thanks to a law called The Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxins (PACT) Act.
Under the law, more veterans who were likely exposed to toxic chemicals from burn pits and agent orange became eligible for health care benefits.
The Executive Director of the Franklin County Veterans Services Commission, Buck Bramlish, talks with Mike Kallmeyer about what they are doing to help veterans understand the benefits that are now available to them.
An Ohio woman, Susan Zeier, shares her personal story after calling on lawmakers to pass the PACT Act on Capitol Hill in honor of her late son-in-law Heath Robinson. Col. Bill Butler, a retired U.S. Army veteran, talks with Kallmeyer about the importance of this legislation and what it means to him as a veteran and someone who has friends and family who were impacted by these toxic chemicals.
