Abstract
The Special Investigations Division of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform examines the impact of President Bush's proposed FY 2006 budget for the Department of Veterans Affairs on veterans in Maryland’s 7th Congressional District. The report highlights that the proposed fee increases could lead to nearly two thousand veterans in the district dropping out of the VA health care system. Additionally, veterans who remain in the system may face significant cost increases, with an average rise of $390 annually. Overall, Maryland veterans could see millions of dollars in additional costs, including close to one million dollars for veterans in Rep. Cummings’s district.
