Resources and Organizations for Women Veterans. Two Events for Women Veterans on June 30th
A very special Thank You to Steve Corbo, Curator and Board of Directors Member of the Italian American Veterans Museum in Stone Park, Illinois, and Tom Day, Founder of Bugles Across America, for being our special guests at our November Veterans for Unification meeting.
Veterans Preventive Health Coverage Fairness Act would eliminate copays for preventive health services including contraception, immunizations, and cancer screenings
Combat Veteran and U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and U.S Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) re-introduced bipartisan legislation to make healthcare more affordable for America’s Veterans. Their Veterans Preventive Health Coverage Fairness Act would stop forcing our nation’s Veterans to pay out-of-pocket costs for essential preventive health medications and prescription drugs and add preventive medications and services to the list of no-fee treatments that VA covers. Under current law, Veterans are forced to pay co-pays for preventive healthcare services that servicemembers, military retirees and civilians with private insurance plans receive for no out-of-pocket cost.
Veterans should not have to pay copays for preventive health services and should get supportive care for breastfeeding without cost-sharing -- like many civilians, according to a new bill filed by two congresswomen.
U.S. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) introduced a bipartisan bill to ensure United States military veterans do not have copays for preventive healthcare services.
Veterans for Unification request that you contact your Representatives in Congress and urge them to cosponsor these two bills, H. R. 3932 and H. R. 96.
Veterans for Unification welcomed guests Linda Chapa LaVia, Director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Dr. Mark Weiman, DMD, Army Veteran, and Cynthia McKee, VSO Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs. The meeting was held at the Oak Park Public Library on August 3, 2019.
