Vietnam Era
Veterans Hepatitis C Testing
Enhancement Act
H.R. 5922
The Issue
The Veterans Administration (VA) is working to test and treat
veterans for hepatitis C (HCV), and Congress has dedicated specific
resources to these activities. However, VA enrollment is
approximately 20 to 22% of all veterans, of which half use VA Health
Care. Effectively, the VA may have tested 8 to 9% of the 8.5 million
Vietnam and Vietnam Era Veterans who are considered at high-risk for
infection, leaving 7.5 million unaware of their status.
