| The house has rejected an administration proposal for the Veterans Administration to charge a $250 annual enrollment fee for veterans in Priority Group 8. The proposal also would have more than doubled prescription copays for Priority 8 veterans, from $7 to $15. Although the VA suspended new enrollments in Priority 8 earlier this year, veterans already enrolled continue to be eligible for treatment, and would have incurred the new payments. Priority 8s are veterans with no service-connected disabilities who have higher incomes than geographically determined means test levels. | |
