Well, that's not good because some lawmakers want to remove some benefits. But also, Vet Secretary Collins is more interested in pleasing trump who does not have the best interest of veterans in mind. What a conundrum... 👀

A month after House Republicans failed to pass a veterans health bill, lawmakers are meeting behind closed doors to try to get the legislation back on track. But there’s one key person they haven’t invited to the table: Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins.

Collins and his team at the VA have been excluded from recent meetings on Capitol Hill because some senior congressional Republicans and Trump officials blamed him when the planned House vote was abruptly abandoned in July, according to multiple sources who were involved in crafting the legislation.
