Average Household Impact
- Veteran medical debt relief — Stamp proceeds would pay down unpaid VA copayments and coinsurance
The details
A new postage stamp would let the public chip in on veterans' medical bills. The Postal Service would issue a Veterans Medical Debt Relief Stamp each year, in time for Veterans Day. Stamps like this cost more than regular postage, with the extra money going to a cause. Every dollar raised would go to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA would use the money to pay down medical debt veterans owe the department. That debt comes from unpaid copayments and coinsurance on VA care. It also covers care veterans received from outside providers through the Community Care Program. The stamp would not be subject to the usual limit on how long such stamps stay on sale. Nothing here requires anyone to buy one.
