The K2 Veterans Total Coverage Act of 2025 would expand health benefits for veterans who were stationed at Karshi Khanabad Air Base in Uzbekistan during their military service. The bill establishes presumptive conditions—meaning the Veterans Administration would automatically assume these diseases are service-related without requiring veterans to prove a connection—for a broad range of illnesses including various cancers, thyroid disease, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, neurological conditions, and others. This change would make it easier for affected veterans to access VA disability benefits and medical care for these conditions, which are believed to stem from toxic exposure at the base. The legislation applies specifically to veterans who served at this facility and would amend federal veterans' benefits law. No specific funding amount or implementation timeline is included in the bill text provided.
