Camarillo, CA - Veteran of the War in Afghanistan and 26th Congressional District Candidate Jeff Gorell today called for bi-partisan action to end disgraceful bureaucratic incompetence that has cost the lives of at least 40 military veterans at VA medical facilities.

"America's veterans deserve better treatment than they are receiving from the VA and this Administration. That's why I strongly support the legislation being proposed by House Veterans Committee Chairman Jeff Miller (R-Florida) which will guarantee that any Veteran who has to wait more than 30 days for an appointment at a VA clinic or hospital can seek outside care at the department's expense," stated Gorell.

"I call upon Julia Brownley to join me in supporting this common sense proposal to give our Veterans the quality medical treatment that they have earned," continued Gorell. "It's time for action, not empty rhetoric to get this issue resolved."
