WASHINGTON _ Democrats for years have seen the conservative Koch Brothers as political enemies. Former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid even called them "un-American."
But Wednesday, Senate Democrats teamed up with Republicans to pass major veterans health care legislation championed by the Kochs.
The Koch-funded Concerned Veterans for America celebrated a big victory with the passage of the VA MISSION Act, a sweeping bill that overhauls how the Department of Veterans Affairs gives patients access to private-sector doctors.
