In this bill, the Department of Veterans Affairs has to tell Congress regularly about the number of abortions they help with, including where and how much it costs, but they can't share anyone's personal details. It's like showing your homework to teachers without revealing anyone's secrets.

H.R. 9712 is a bill that wants to keep some important help for veterans going, like making sure they have healthcare and homes, but it raises questions because it doesn't explain well whether this help is working or how the money is being used.

The bill makes sure the people in charge of helping veterans tell the government about how many abortions they help with, how they do them, and how much they cost, but without sharing anyone’s personal information. This is like keeping track of things in a notebook to show what they are doing, while making sure not to use anyone's name.

The bill H. R. 10396, or the "NOPAIN for Veterans Act," wants to make sure that veterans can get medicines that help with pain without using things that work like opioids. It makes the Veterans Affairs boss quickly add these non-opioid medicines to their list so veterans can use them.
