HR 7589, Remove Copays Act, will prohibit the imposition or collection of copayments for certain mental health outpatient care visits of Veterans. Our Veterans who are struggling with mental health issues face enough problems without having to scrape together money for a co-pay. Being forced to choose between food and treatment is a choice no Veteran should have to make. This bill will help reduce the pressure on these challenged Veterans and perhaps save the lives of those who are giving into pressures. This bill is a good step to help Veterans embrace treatment with a corresponding decline in the tragic suicide rate.
Please contact your elected officials and ask for their support.
