The House voted 217 to 180 to remove a provision from an appropriations bill that would have let the Veterans Administration ignore a veteran oath of inability to pay for hospitalization. The action preserves the current rule that VA must take the oath at face value and cover care when available. The House then approved the omnibus appropriations with a 394 to 2 margin, funding VA at over 4.0 billion dollars and including sums for TVA and the Selective Service.
