New PTSD treatment for veterans

Matches stated record claim

What they say

His campaign says he continues to support legislation to give veterans cutting-edge PTSD treatment.

“Provide cutting edge treatment for Veterans with PTSD”

What the record shows ·

He is the sponsor of the TREAT PTSD Act and has introduced it in each Congress since January 2020, most recently as H.R. 1947 in March 2025. It would require the VA and the Defense Department to offer stellate ganglion block to veterans and service members with PTSD. None of the versions has passed.

Limit: The record shows the bill, not any treatment delivered. Whether stellate ganglion block counts as cutting edge is a medical question this card does not judge.
