NewsWK — Federal lawmakers have introduced new legislation aimed at improving medical services for military veterans residing in remote areas. Senate Bill 5177, officially titled the New Mexico Rural Veteran Health Care Access Act, was recently filed in the 119th Congress to address healthcare delivery challenges in rural communities.
