On the recordMarch 9, 2004
I thought I heard my colleague say you were opposed to these increase in copays. I was trying to make sure you are aware we did not assume an increase. We did not have that in our budget. I wanted to make sure you knew that. If you didn't, I will read it to you. It says the committee resolution does not assume the President's proposal to establish a new $250 enrollment fee for priority 7 or 8 veterans or to increase the insurance for prescription drug copayment for priority 7 and 8 veterans from $7 to $15. That is not in our resolution. I wanted to make sure you knew that.
