HCR 51 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Urges Congress to pass HR 1970, providing reimbursement to veterans homes for medications and treatments for veterans

This Missouri House resolution (HCR 51) urges Congress to pass HR 1970, a federal bill that would require the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to fully reimburse veterans' homes or directly provide high-cost medications and treatments for severely disabled veterans. It specifically addresses current shortfalls in VA funding that leave veterans' homes unable to cover expenses for specialized care. The resolution does not create new law but expresses Missouri's support for federal action to better support veterans' long-term care facilities.
