Key Points

This bill creates a new postage stamp called the Veterans Health Care Stamp. When people buy these stamps, the extra money goes toward paying for medical treatment for veterans.
The money collected from these sales will be sent to the Department of Veterans Affairs. This allows the public to support veterans' health care through a voluntary donation when they mail letters.
The stamps would be released every year in time for Veterans Day. The Postal Service will decide what the stamp looks like, and there is no limit on how many can be sold to the public.
