Today, President Donald J. Trump signed my legislation, the Veterans Transplant Coverage Act into law, as part of the VA Mission Act. This legislation was inspired by the heartbreaking story of Charles Nelson (far right), a 100% service connected disabled veteran from Leander, Texas. In 2016, Charles was in need of a kidney transplant, and his son, Coty, was a match donor. However, the VA denied coverage for the surgery because Coty was not a veteran. Today's bill signing changes VA policy to ensure that no other veteran will have to go through what the Nelson family endured.
