President Biden is expected to be joined Wednesday by the surviving wife and daughter of Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robinson at the signing of sweeping legislation named after him that expands health care to veterans exposed to hazardous toxins in the line of service.
The White House says the bill, which the Senate gave final approval to last week in a 86-11 vote after a brief stalemate, is the “most significant expansion of VA health care and benefits in more than 30 years.”
Danielle Robinson was a guest of first lady Jill Biden at the president’s first State of the Union Address in which he called on Congress to pass the legislation.
