The American Pain Society has expressed strong support for action by Congress and President, which resulted in the enactment today of two pain care bills. The Veterans Pain Care Policy Act (S 2160) originated the Senate and subsequently was added to the Veterans Mental Health and Other Care Improvements Act of 2008 (S 2162). It will fund pain care programs in VA facilities and offer pain management for veterans with long-term pain. Story
