Premium   Download PDF Now (3 pages)
Congress 115th
Date Requested May 8, 2018
Requested By House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
Date Sent May 16, 2018
Description:

H.R. 1972 would allow the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to waive the copayments charged for medical care when veterans are not notified of the charges for a significant period of time. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would reduce collections by $141 million over the 2019-2023 period. Assuming VA continued to provide the same level of health care, additional funding totaling $141 million would have to be appropriated, and spending would total $135 million.
