Sen. Thom Tillis from North Carolina voted against giving health care to veterans on Tuesday. His excuse was that the bill would expand the number of people getting treatment at VA clinics, which are already overwhelmed.

“This legislation will have adverse operational and administrative impacts, and I remain concerned that it will result in increased wait times, delays in receiving care, and a substantial increase in the claims backlog,” Tillis said in a statement on his website.

Sen. Tillis’s phone number in Washington is 202-224-6342 or you can email him using his online form.
