"Just days before the long Memorial Day weekend, Senate Democrats agreed to block a bill aimed at punishing officials involved in the Department of Veterans Affairs health care scandal.
Allowing the bill to pass would have let Congress say it had at least started the process of fixing the broken VA, a gesture to veterans just before Memorial Day.The House had already passed the bill in an easy bipartisan vote, and up until the Senate’s decision, the two parties appeared to be in rough agreement that Congress needed to move quickly."
