Summary of Bill HR 3997

Bill 115 HR 3997, also known as the Free Veterans from Fees Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress that aims to provide financial relief to veterans by waiving certain fees for services they receive. The bill specifically targets fees related to housing, education, and healthcare for veterans.

Under this bill, veterans would be exempt from paying fees for VA home loans, VA education benefits, and VA healthcare services. This exemption would apply to both current and future fees, providing veterans with significant cost savings.

If passed, the Free Veterans from Fees Act would provide much-needed financial relief to veterans and their families, allowing them to access the services they need without facing additional financial strain. The bill is currently being reviewed by congressional committees, and its future prospects look promising.

I don't think this is fair, why should we have to pay for it? Who does this really help anyway?
