Law

This bill, introduced by Representative Deluzio, aims to make wellness programs like yoga, meditation, and health coaching more affordable for veterans using VA services.
Veterans in high-priority groups—usually those with service-connected disabilities or lower incomes—would be guaranteed free access to these wellness programs with no out-of-pocket costs.
For all other veterans, the bill creates a new price protection that limits total costs for these services to no more than $30 per month, regardless of how many classes or coaching sessions they attend.
The policy focuses on 'Whole Health' services, which are activities like Tai Chi and stress management that help people stay healthy and prevent future medical problems.
By capping these costs, the bill intends to encourage more veterans to take part in preventative care and self-care activities that improve their daily quality of life.
