    Our World War II veterans halted the spread of tyranny, securing our democracy for generations to come. As of last month, fewer than 240,330 WWII veterans remain and hundreds pass away every day.

    Of those still living, not all of them receive the VA health-care services they earned through their service. As a grateful nation, we must fulfill our promises to the Greatest Generation to ensure they receive all the benefits they deserve.

    To rectify this issue, Rep. Josh Harder, D-Calif., introduced H.R. 5562, the WWII means test bill. The legislation would exempt WWII veterans from the means test needed to receive VA health-care services. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., has supported these efforts by introducing S.1040, the Senate companion to this bill.

    The Senate bill has 10 bipartisan cosponsors while the House version has three. But little progress has been made in the past few months.
