Co-pays

[SLEDGE]

I'm working on getting my co-pays refunded.

I need to know, in what YEAR did the VA begin collecting co-pays from veterans.

The VA computer says it was in 1997.

That does not seem right to me.

Maybe I'm having a memory fart.

I had copays in 1991 they were 2 dollars

Why do VSO's and vets accept any co-pay demand? I know it is the law but it is an unjust law. That is what we fought a revolution about was unjust laws. Skinning vets for co-pays is an insult to every vet.

Well, they are telling me that I was never billed for any co-pays prior to 1997.

That's why I'm curious about the starting date of co-pays in general.

AND, they tell me that the records do not go back beyond 1988.

Could that mean 1988 was the first year they charged us?

Personally, I believe they are just trying to get out of giving my money back.

And that's exactly what I have come to expect from the VA.
