Whole Health for Veterans Act

Key Points

• 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.
