(2,177 posts)6. So he did do something.
Sanders has long fought for increased benefits for military veterans, but his signature legislative achievement was the 2014 Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act, a law aimed at reforming the VA that was hammered out during heated negotiations with Senate and House Republicans. Some credit him for getting that law through a deeply polarized Congress, while others blast him for not doing enough to respond to the nationwide VA scandal that broke in the spring of 2014.
