Roscoe Butler, American Legion deputy director for health care in the Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation Division, recently testified before the Subcommittee on Health to voice the Legion’s support for five pieces of pending legislation, which included bills addressing the severe staffing shortages plaguing the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). According to a recent study, there will be a shortage of more than 100,000 doctors by 2030, including medical officers, nurses, psychologists, physician assistants and medical technologists. A video of the hearing along with relevant documents is available on the House Committee on Veterans Affairs website.
