Subject: Service Officer Veterans Legislative Information

As your Service Officer, I would like to share the following information with you and hope it's not too late to take action. If you read this after Monday 3/4, at least you'll be informed as to some of the issues going on on the Hill.

Be advise that I'm Not asking for comments to be sent to our board, but rather, you need to go to the DAV web site to submit your comments.

Jaime A. Lleras, VSPA Service Officer

This information come from the DAV National Commander & DAV National Legislative Commander.

ACTION ALERT:

Please Submit a Comment to Oppose Co-payments for Disabled Veterans!

VA recently proposed a regulation to establish a new Urgent Care (Walk-in) health benefit as part of implementing the VA MISSION Act. While we strongly support an Urgent Care (Walk-in) benefit (DAV Resolution No. 075) for enrolled veterans, we strongly oppose VA’s proposal to charge service-connected disabled veterans a copayment of $30 per urgent care visit, beginning with the 4th visit in any calendar year.

Our unwavering position (DAV Resolution No. 276) is that veterans have earned free medical care – without copayments – for the care of wounds, injuries and illnesses related to their military service. While the MISSION Act allows VA to impose copayments, it does not mandate copayments on service-connected veterans, and we believe VA would be wrong to do so.

The proposed regulation is now open for public comment, but it has a shortened comment period that will end this coming Monday, March 4, 2019.

If you agree that disabled veterans should never be charged copayments for care related to their military service, please join us in submitting a public comment on this proposed regulation.

You can submit your comments to this webpage:

www.regulations.gov/comment?D=VA-2019-VHA-0003-0001

In your own words, briefly indicate that you oppose copayments for disabled veterans and then explain why and how copayments would negatively affect you, your loved ones or friends.

Thank you for taking the time to join us in opposing copayments on service-connected veterans for the new VA Urgent Care benefit.
