House Democrats voted Thursday to fast-track an electronic medical records system that would serve illegal immigrants, something America's veterans have been seeking for years.
The House passed the bill on a largely party line vote of 230-184, American Military News reported.
The bill gives the DHS 90 days after the bill receives final approval to get the job done.
"The Veterans Administration will not have similar electronic health records systems in place for nine years and the Department of Defense will not have those systems for another five years," he said.
Tennessee Republican Rep. Tim Burchett said in a Twitter video that Republicans added an amendment to the Democratic bill to ensure veterans receive the same treatment as illegal immigrants under the bill.
Amendment to give VETERANS same healthcare as ILLEGALS fails.
"We should not treat anyone, particularly someone who breaks our laws, better than we treat our heroes. DHS staff along the border are doing the best they can to keep up with screening illegal border crossers and this bill will make it harder for them to do their job without actually helping anyone," he said.
