Urges Congress and Department of Veterans Affairs not to reduce funding for ambulance services for veterans.

This non-binding New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 89) urges Congress and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to maintain current funding levels for ambulance services used by veterans. It specifically warns that proposed funding cuts could force veterans to pay $400-$600 per ambulance ride (the average cost in New Jersey), potentially deterring them from seeking emergency care. The resolution highlights that 338,012 veterans in New Jersey rely on federal reimbursement for these services, and rural areas - already facing hospital closures - would be disproportionately affected if costs shift to state/local governments. It does not change federal policy but formally requests the VA and Congress preserve existing reimbursement rates.
