Why did 11 Republicans Vote Against the Satanically Named PACT Act?
Well for starters, the Veterans Administration (VA) Budget supasses the entire DOD's budget annually. I didn't know this until 2018, when I started doing my retirement research.
But as far as this PACT Act shit, you know Democrats ALWAYS HIDE some bullshit Pork Spending in every piece of legislation they push.

Toomey: Congress Must Protect Veterans Care Bill from Being Used as Vehicle for Massive Unrelated Spending Binge
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) today spoke on the Senate floor about his effort to fix a flaw in the PACT Act. As currently written, the bill would enable $400 billion over the next 10 years in spending completely unrelated to veterans. Senator Toomey’s technical fix does not reduce spending on veterans by even $1 or affect the expansion of care and benefits in the underlying bill.
Watch the Senator’s remarks here.
The PACT Act as written includes abudget gimmick that would allow $400 billion of current law spending to be moved from the discretionary to the mandatory spending category.This provision is completely unnecessary to achieve the PACT Act’s stated goal of expanding health care and other benefits for veterans. However, it would enable an additional $400 billion in future discretionary spending completely unrelated to veterans. By failing to remove this gimmick, Congress would effectively be using an important veterans care bill to hide a massive, unrelated spending binge.
