The top Republican on the House Veterans Affairs Committee got a look at the Omaha VA hospital and its 2-year-old ambulatory care clinic this week.

He liked what he saw.

“You’ve got a great facility,” said Rep. Mike Bost, R-Illinois. “There are certain VA facilities that are aging out, certain ones the veterans don’t want to go to. You don’t get that here.”

Bost, a Marine Corps veteran who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2015, joined Rep. Don Bacon, R-Nebraska, for a tour that also included the Victory Apartments for formerly homeless veterans and Omaha National Cemetery.
