Stamp Out Veterans Medical Debt Act
HR 5946, the "Stamp Out Veterans Medical Debt Act," creates a special postage stamp sold by the U.S. Postal Service to raise funds for paying veterans' outstanding medical debt. The bill requires all revenue from stamp sales to be transferred directly to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), where it is used to reduce unresolved copayments and coinsurance bills for veterans who received care through VA facilities or the Community Care Program. The stamp must be available by Veterans Day each year and has no sales limits, allowing public contributions to directly offset veterans' medical debt. This bill directly affects veterans with unpaid medical bills and enables the public to support debt relief through a simple postage purchase.
