House expands Obamacare to cover vets (the doggie docs)

Asleep at the Wheel is supposed to be the name of a fine Texas Swing band, not a description of the House GOP majority, but then how do we account for yesterday’s passage of The Veterinary Public Health Amendments yesterday?

RedState’s Russ Vought explains the key provision of this bill that passed with support from 95 House GOPers, saying the measure “would increase the number of veterinarians with public health training via federal subsidies. One of the bill’s provisions expands the Public Health Workforce Loan Repayment Program—a loan program created in Obamacare (Title V of Section 5204)—to include veterinarians in the definition of eligible public health officials.”
