English/Español: Rubio Praises New Veterans Law
Following two years of bipartisan efforts led by U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), as well as Veteran Service Organizations and activists, legislation to help veterans will finally become law.
For decades, veterans have been suffering from prior exposure to toxic burn pits while serving overseas. The Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022 will streamline the process for veterans to obtain benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The core of the PACT Act includes key provisions from Rubio’s Presumptive Benefits for War Fighters Exposed to Burn Pits and Other Toxins Act (S. 952), which he introduced with Gillibrand last year.
- “Our veterans waited far too long. They fought and bled for our country overseas, many of them losing dear friends along the way. They never should have had to fight the bureaucracy once they came home. It was wrong.
- “Today marks a turning point, at long last. A recognition that America will not ignore the hidden costs of war, and that we will always take care of those who answered the call to serve.
- “I look forward to working with the Biden Administration and my colleagues to make sure the bill is implemented fully, and our veterans never again suffer from bureaucratic delays and neglect.” – Senator Rubio

Tras dos años de esfuerzos bipartidistas encabezados por los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), así como organizaciones de servicios para veteranos y activistas, la legislación para ayudar a los veteranos finalmente se convertirá en ley.
Por décadas, nuestros veteranos han estado sufriendo de ser expuestos a la quema de pozos tóxicos mientras estaban en el servicio militar en el extranjero. La Ley Honrando Nuestra Promesa de Abordar los Tóxicos Integrales del 2022 (PACT, por sus siglas en inglés) agilizará el proceso para que los veteranos obtengan beneficios del Departamento de Asuntos de los Veteranos de EE.UU.
La Ley PACT incluye disposiciones claves de la legislación S.952 de Rubio, que presentó con Gillibrand el año pasado.
- “Nuestros veteranos esperaron por mucho tiempo. Lucharon por nuestro país en el exterior y muchos de ellos perdieron amigos en el camino. Ellos nunca debieron haber tenido que luchar contra la burocracia del sistema al regresar a casa. Eso estaba mal.
- “Hoy marcamos una nueva página, por fin. Un reconocimiento que EE.UU. no ignorará los costos ocultos de la guerra y que siempre cuidaremos de aquellos que respondieron al llamado de servir a su patria.
- “Espero trabajar con la Administración Biden y mis colegas para asegurarme que el proyecto de ley se implemente por completo y que nuestros veteranos nunca más sufran ni de demoras burocráticas ni de negligencia”. – Senador Rubio
