Wilson: Injured Troops Deserve Best Care Possible

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), member of the House Armed Services Committee, today voted to ensure America’s wounded troops receive the best medical care possible. H.R. 1538, the Wounded Warriors Assistance Act of 2007, passed with a unanimous vote of 426 - 0.

“Our men and women in the US Armed Forces deserve the finest medical care we can provide. I was greatly concerned when learning of the dire living conditions our nation’s wounded veterans have been made to endure at Walter Reed Medical Center.

“While Walter Reed is renowned as a world-class facility, recent management neglected to provide adequate care. I am pleased Congress has come together to correct this situation and ensure our military medical system remains the best in the world.”
