Rep. Ken Hechler told the West Virginia Disabled American Veterans meeting that the House Veterans Affairs Committee will move soon to curb proposed bed and funding cuts at VA hospitals nationwide. He opposed a ruling barring temporarily licensed physicians from VA staffs and warned it could force Raleigh County or another hospital to close.
