Posts - Bill - HR 5261 To amend title 38, United States Code, to modify the limitation on reimbursement for emergency treatment of amounts owed to a third party or for which the veteran is responsible under a health-plan contract.
house 09/10/2025 - 119th Congress

Our goal is to make sure veterans aren’t unfairly burdened by unexpected medical expenses outside VA facilities.
