Accomplishments
Below are just some of the victories Senator Roth has delivered for Inland Southern California and all Californians.
Achievements
Supporting the Americans with Disabilities Act
Helping Disabled Veterans
With the US Department of Veterans Affairs facing a shocking backlog of veterans’ disability claims, Roth deploys a California “Strike Team” to defeat the backlog and pay over $35 million in disability claim back payments and over $52 million per year in on-going disability payments to California veterans.
Increasing Nursing Programs
Expanding Healthcare Access
Roth delivers $40 million in new medical residency slots to train doctors in medically underserved areas like Riverside County, $15 million to establish a tele-psychiatry program at the UCR School of Medicine, and $2 million in ongoing funding to expand pediatric physician residency programs throughout California.
