(Before It's News)

Man, this just made my day. My dental is 80 miles away. My Dermatolodigst and ENT doctors are 170 or 80 miles away.
 
The Senate voted to adopt the conference report on a bill that would provide for $10 billion in emergency spending for care at non-Veterans Affairs facilities and allow veterans to obtain health care at such facilities if they live more than 40 miles from a VA clinic or can't get an appointment at a VA clinic within 30 days. It would provide for $5 billion in spending for expedited authority to hire more doctors, nurses and other health care professionals and would authorize leases for the opening of 27 new VA health facilities. The bill is cleared for the president’s signature.

Sen. Richard Burr voted YES
Sen. Kay Hagan voted Not Voting
