President Biden signed the PACT Act, a bill that will ease access to medical care for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits.
RELATED: Jon Stewart blasts GOP lawmakers over PACT Act
Burn pits – open-air trash sites that dispose of military waste through burning – exposed about 3.5 million veterans to toxic chemicals that could result in respiratory illness or various forms of cancer, according to the Department of Defense.
The PACT Act would expand eligibility for veterans exposed to burn pits. Currently, there is no clear evidence directly linking burn pits with respiratory illness and cancer.

Fraud
Jon Lebowitz is a sellout lol
The corrupt lying Dem Sen Blumenthal is there????? This guy LIED about him being IN Vietnam!!
FUE UN GOLPE DE ESTADO.
CONTRA EL LEGITIMO PRESIDENTE DONALD TRUMP.
FIN.
All health care in the U.S. of A. should be free to everyone. It's way past time WE caught up with the rest of the world.
When will people come to realize that democrats don't care about the poor, the military, the middle class or minorities and that they don't hate the rich? They're in bed with the wealthy and use everyone else to get rich off of.
Man, that little girl was in the sniff zone. She is a brave one.
Praying for our Nation! Let Justice reign!!!
Fight for over 3 yrs overseas against our enemies, then have to come home and do it again for 8 more? Seems I’m a soldier without a country that wants me. Thx Mr. Stewart for thinking I am worth it.
I GUARANTEE YOU DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO PROP HIM JL NEXT
FJB🖕🏾
The reason conservatives voted against it is because it will allow Democrats to spend another $400 billion dollars in pork unrelated to veterans. Americans have been scammed again.
Remember Jon!!!! I know Our Real President Wanted this for our VETS!!!!
It was the DEMS that voted against it!!!!!
Our True President wanted good for all! So do not fall for this democratic Bull Shit like you said!!!! It's all for their gain during the 2022 election process, which is going to backfire on them!!!
Glad you got it done. But remember it was not the left! It was President Trump! That wanted this!
Why would President Donald J.Trump build up our military. Then break it down so people in our military would not receive any benefits! You are so wrong with that!!!! I know you want to stay on the Democrats side on this one or you would loose everything! Our real President Donald J. Tump did everything this country asked for and more!!!! The Dems have destroyed our nation! And to get one victory our of them was like pulling teeth! And you seen it! Now look back at what our real President wanted for our Veterans! The Dens only sided with you to help them in 2022.
And belive Me it's not going to work for the people that serve our country! And anyone else! Thanks for you getting the Dems to do this. Bur was not the Dems that came up with this!
John is so special. His family, friends and all the veterans are so fortunate to have him in their lives.

The government works for the corporations not for "the people". Wake up, watch where the money goes! Especially you, Jon Stewart, you like bitching about where tax payers money goes, you track it BM.
We need him for reparations, don't let them forget .
As a veteran, I would just like to say thank you Mr. Stewart for your and many others hard work. You are appreciated by many of us.
POS LIAR. UNREAL
Most Americans are struggling this man and his wicked party are ballooning the size of the IRS to take more $$ from us.

Jon Stewart… 🤔
He's the guy who let his INSURRECTIONIST EMPLOYEES ILLEGALLY ROAM THE HALLS OF CONGRESS
It's funny how the GOP are the first to say "support our troops" and the last to actually support them in any real way.
🖕🏻 FJB!
This veterans’ family thanks you so much!
Thank you Akon for your persistence. This family of veterans are very thankful
The PACT Act as written includes a budget gimmick that would allow $400 billion of current law spending to be moved from discretionary to mandatory spending. This provision is completely unnecessary to achieve the PACT Act’s stated goal of expanding health care and other benefits for veterans. This gimmick would allow for an additional $400 billion in future discretionary spending completely unrelated to veterans over the next 10 years.
Senator Toomey’s amendment does not reduce spending on veterans by a single dollar or affect the expansion of care and benefits in the underlying bill. The amendment simply ensures that the $280 billion expansion of veterans benefits, all classified as mandatory and unoffset, does not also include a transfer of current law spending to mandatory that would enable $400 billion of spending for items completely unrelated to veterans.
I like Jon but his thanks is misplaced.
