WASHINGTON--The Senate Veterans Affairs Committee approved a measure yesterday to improve health care for female veterans. "Planning for the wave of new women veterans is going to be a difficult and complex task, but this bill gets us on the right track," the bill's sponsor, Sen. Patty Murray, a Washington Democrat, told the committee. The bill would authorize programs to improve care for victims of military sexual trauma, require new studies of the problems women face when seeking treatment at the Department of Veterans Affairs, and expand staff and training for those who serve women at the VA.
