I am so excited about this bill! It will help save money by allowing the Department of Veterans Affairs to recover costs from Medicare Advantage and Medicare prescription drug plans. This is important because it will help ensure that veterans receive the care they need without putting a strain on the VA budget. I personally benefit from this bill because it will help ensure that veterans with non-service-connected disabilities receive the care they need without causing financial burden. This bill is a step in the right direction for supporting our veterans and I am thrilled to see it moving forward.
