Companion legislation is being introduced into the House and the Senate that focuses on the care given to veterans suffering traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Sponsors of these bills are urging a quick passage so as to get help as soon as possible to those in need. More than just offering better care, passing these bills will provide "fuller lives" for those veterans with TBIs.
If it passes, the Veterans' Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitative Services' Improvement Act of 2011 will re-define the care the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) must provide. The bill focuses on the care given to those veterans with more severe TBIs.
The VA would be obligated to offer continuous rehabilitative care on a long-term scale. This care will include providing support services to make the veterans' lives as comfortable and independent as possible.
These bills will close loopholes which currently exist in the VA's rehabilitation programs as they apply to veterans with TBIs. Should these bills become law, they would prevent the long-term, necessary care from being cut off while still required for the veterans' daily existence.
Essentially, these bills serve to ensure veterans with TBIs are given all the care they need to be as comfortable as possible. This is important as TBI symptoms can manifest themselves in such a way as to cause long-term neurological problems.
