Iowa City VA Health Care System will move to West Burlington
The Iowa City VA Health Care System (ICVAHCS) will relocate the Burlington Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) from the current location at 1000 North Roosevelt Ave., Burlington, to a new leased location at 415 W. Division St., West Burlington, a news release says.
The current location, owned by Yesara Commercial LLC, will no longer serve as a VA outpatient location. The new location is a standalone building next to the Mississippi Valley Veterans Memorial.
Construction of the new space is expected to start in June with a projected open date in 2026. A groundbreaking ceremony will be held Thursday, June 5, at 1 p.m. at 415 W. Division St., West Burlington, next to the Mississippi Valley Veterans Memorial.
The new VA outpatient clinic will total almost 18,700 square feet: more than five times larger than the current space. This increase allows VA the ability to add enhanced primary care and mental health services, along with essential lab and radiology testing.
Other increased programs at the new location include expanded service for Primary Care with the addition of physical therapy, optometry, podiatry, and chiropractic care. Audiology and radiology are planned for eventual expansion. These expanded services will allow patients to receive specialized care on site rather than traveling to the Iowa City VA or seeking care in the community.
'The added value to the patients and staff will be the ability to conduct care and services without waiting for available space, as well as increased privacy and comfort for the patient. We will also see an improvement in the education and training that we can provide for patients with more available space to conduct those activities,' says Frank Lung, MSN, RN, clinic coordinator for the Burlington VA Clinic.
The current clinic opened in June of 2021. If you are a Veteran with an honorable discharge and are interested in receiving care at the Burlington VA Clinic, call the clinic at 319-752-3722 or eligibility and enrollment at 319-338-0581 Ext 637141 to discuss enrollment.

A tiny-house investor racked up $20,000 in credit card debt to set up a property. Now the 384-square-foot home brings in up to $1,500 a month.
After buying two single-family homes, Manny Reyna added a tiny home to his portfolio. He dealt with a handful of unexpected costs, from a septic system to electrical installation. He now earns up to $1,500 monthly from the tiny home and plans to add more to his land. Manny Reyna admits that when he purchased his first tiny house, he was underprepared. "I didn't know what I was doing," the financially independent real estate investor told Business Insider. As an Army vet, Reyna leveraged a 0% down VA loan to buy his first home in San Antonio in 2021. At the time, he had about $12,000 to his name, nearly all of which went toward closing costs. A year later, he used a VA loan again to buy a second single-family home. He moved in with his family, rented the first to a long-term tenant, and started bringing in passive rental income. When the opportunity to add a fully furnished, 384-square-foot tiny home to his portfolio arose months later, he jumped, figuring he could generate quality returns by listing it on Airbnb. And that's essentially what happened: Reyna and the seller, who had built the tiny home on his own land, agreed on seller financing for the $50,000 property. Plus, the seller agreed to lease his land to Reyna, saving him the headache of finding, buying, and preparing another plot of land. "I started renting it out on Airbnb immediately, and it took off," Reyna said. But as foot traffic on the property increased, the landowner wanted more privacy and gave Reyna six months to move the tiny home. Reyna's first obstacle was figuring out where to put the tiny home. He had two main criteria for the land: It had to be within a 30-minute drive from his home and a place where people were already visiting. "I didn't want to have to buy land in the middle of nowhere, stick tiny homes there, and then have to create some sort of buzz to get people out there," he said. A software tool called AirDNA that helps investors find top short-term rental markets helped narrow his search, and he eventually settled on an area near Medina Lake. As for the criteria for the land, "the biggest things that I wanted were no HOA and no deed restrictions. I didn't want to have to spend a bunch of money getting permits and cutting through all this red tape." His real estate agent, who had connected him with the tiny home builder, helped him land a deal on a piece of land that met his criteria. "In Texas, at that time, land was going for close to $80,000 an acre," said Reyna, who found a motivated seller and paid $65,000 for his 1.6 acres. "I got lucky. The lady that I bought the land from had inherited it, and she didn't want it at all. She took the first offer that I gave her." He secured the land without much upfront cash by using a VLB loan, a program that allows veterans in Texas to buy land with competitive interest rates and low down payments. "I had never bought land before. It's a whole other process," Reyna said, adding that it took four months to close. "When you buy the land, you need to get a surveyor, which is like an engineer who looks at the parameters of the land, maps it all out for you, and gives you a certificate saying, this is what your land looks like." The surveyor was the first of many professionals Reyna would hire to prepare the land for the tiny home properly. Reyna's next hires included a land-clearing company to prepare the land and a moving company to transport the tiny home. The movers "dropped it on some cement blocks," he said. "It's not on wheels or anything — it sits on cement blocks — and I'm not going to lie, it didn't look very nice aesthetically at first. So, I had to go build a deck." Additionally, he added an 8-foot privacy fence around the home that cost about $4,800. His land came with a water meter, which saved him from drilling a well, but that was about it. His largest expense was installing a septic system, a complex process that cost him about $15,000: "It required a permit because it's considered a plumbing system, so I had to talk to specialists. They charged me to design it and install it." Installing electricity cost him another $3,400 — about $1,900 for the pole setup, plus another $1,500 for trenching and wiring — and required independent research. "The electrician asked, 'What volts do you want?' And I was like, 'I have no idea,'" Reyna said. "There's so much that goes into this." He funded the tiny-home relocation and build-out project with rental income from his single-family home and savings from his full-time project management job. He also used two credit cards with $20,000 limits and long 0% interest periods: 15 and 21 months. He split his expenses between the two cards to maximize the promo periods. As he racked up a roughly $20,000 balance between the two cards, "I questioned my life choices a lot of the time and wondered, 'What am I doing? Is this going to be completely botched?'" he admitted. "But I think that's part of it, right? Maybe if you don't question yourself or if you don't feel that way, maybe you're not doing things the right way or pushing the envelope enough." After three long and expensive months developing the land, he reopened his first tiny home for business in July 2023. He threw all of his profit, plus savings from his W-2, toward his credit card debt in order to pay it off before incurring interest. "Now, the only costs I really have are the cost of the land and the utilities," he said. The carrying cost of the land is about $400, and his monthly "mortgage" is a $290 payment that goes directly to the seller. Reyna initially listed the tiny home as a short-term rental just on Airbnb, but he now uses a variety of platforms, including VRBO, Hipcamp, Facebook Marketplace, and Furnished Finder, and offers it as a midterm rental. "I try to do a shotgun approach to see who's going to bite first, rather than just solely relying on Airbnb," he said, though he prefers midterm stays (more than 30 days but less than a year). He's found this strategy to be more lucrative than renting to long-term tenants and much easier to manage than short-term stays. Once the first tiny home started profiting consistently — on average, he said, it does between $1,200 and $1,500 a month in revenue — Reyna added a second tiny home to his land. "The cool thing with the tiny homes is that they're so cheap to set up that the cash-on-cash return is pretty good once you can establish them at scale," said Reyna, who plans to add more properties to his lot. "If you can get more than one going, it's just pure profit, and it's not too much maintenance, either." He's experimenting with other ways to "hack" his land, he said: "We've added two RV plug and play connections to the land, which we expect to bring in $900 to $1,000 a month, and we've listed a plot of the land to rent through Sniffspot, which we estimate revenue to be $200 to $300 a month." Between his current rentals, he's on track to earn about $85,000 in 2025, he said. BI verified his property ownership by looking at deeds and confirmed that he's bringing in rental income by viewing screenshots of his Airbnb dashboard and reviewing one of his midterm rental lease contracts. "The tiny houses are the ones that are making the most profit for me," said Reyna, who quit his job in early 2025 and moved to Tokyo with his family. He has a team in Texas that helps him manage the properties. He classifies the tiny home project as a success, but if he could go back in time, he'd do things differently. "I was trying to build the plane before flying it," he said. His top advice for prospective tiny home investors is to "look at everything from an all-encompassing view. Consider the cost of everything so that you're not figuring it out as you go, like I did. Also, try to find land with infrastructure already built — at the very least, a water meter, because it's so expensive to get a well. If you can help it, electricity, too."

GOP plan provides $453 billion for VA programs, benefits next year
House Republicans unveiled plans Wednesday for a $453 billion Department of Veterans Affairs budget next fiscal year, with a dramatic increase in mandatory health care and benefits funding but only a 3% boost in discretionary veteran program spending. The proposal also includes a host of controversial social items that drew immediate condemnation from Democratic lawmakers who promised a fight over the measure. 'This bill needlessly fixates on keeping guns in the hands of those who are potentially a danger to themselves or others, and restricts reproductive rights, and [includes] other cruel and pointless policy restrictions,' Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., said in a statement. 'I cannot tell those currently serving and those who defended our nation that this is the best we can do.' The budget plan is expected to be voted on by a House Appropriations Committee panel on Thursday morning. Republican lawmakers praised the proposal as 'maintaining our commitment to the well-being of both service members and veterans.' White House budget plan gives 4% boost for VA amid other agency cuts The appropriations bill represents an $83 billion boost from Congress' approved spending plan for VA in fiscal 2025. That's an increase of more than 22%, but nearly all of that boost is tied up in mandatory funding related to medical programs and veterans payouts. Discretionary funding — money for new program starts and support services — would rise to about $134 billion, up about 4% but about $1 billion less than what the White House requested in its fiscal 2026 budget plan. Almost all of that difference came in the VA Electronic Health Record Modernization initiative account. Spending for the project would double from this year's spending under the plan, to about $2.5 billion. But that is nearly $1 billion less than what the White House requested. Lawmakers have been skeptical of the 10-year, $16 billion project which began during President Donald Trump's first term in office. The effort to modernize health records has been marked by numerous complications and delays, but VA Secretary Doug Collins has promised to restart the effort in coming months. The legislation also includes provisions to block VA from providing abortions or abortion-related counseling at department medical centers — a priority of the previous administration — and prohibit vaccination requirements for any department health care personnel. Republicans also included language that would bar the department from reporting veterans found financially incompetent from being reported to the National Instant Background Check System. Republicans have called it an unnecessary infringement of Second Amendment rights. Democrats have criticized the provision as undermining gun safety efforts. The VA funding bill also includes about $18 billion for military construction projects, an increase of about 3% from fiscal 2025. That includes $830 million for child development centers and barracks improvements. The budget plan is expected to advance Thursday since Republicans control the majority in both chambers of Congress. However, any funding plan would need some level of bipartisan support to advance in the Senate, because of filibuster rules there. The VA budget plan is unlikely to be signed into law until the entire fiscal 2026 funding plan for the federal government is agreed upon by congressional leaders. Negotiations for that are expected to last through the summer. Veterans Affairs planners have seen regular budget increases annually for more than 20 years, even amid periodic congressional and White House efforts to reduce federal spending. In fiscal 2001, the VA budget — both mandatory and discretionary — totaled just $45 billion. In 2011, it was about $125 billion. In fiscal 2023, the total topped $300 billion for the first time.

Medicare Penalties Would Change for 700,000 Seniors Under New Bill
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Members of Congress reintroduced the Medicare Economic Security Solutions Act in Washington, D.C., proposing sweeping reforms to Medicare Part B late enrollment penalties. The legislation would limit penalties to 15 percent of the monthly premium and restrict their duration while also removing penalties for individuals who delayed enrollment due to other coverage, such as COBRA, retiree plans, or Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits. Why It Matters More than 700,000 Medicare beneficiaries currently face permanent increases in their Part B premiums because of late enrollment, with average penalties reaching 30 percent. As more Americans work beyond age 65 and delay claiming Social Security, confusion about Medicare enrollment deadlines has become increasingly costly. The bill aims to simplify enrollment, encourage continued employment among seniors, and shield vulnerable populations from financial hardship due to administrative mistakes or legitimate coverage choices. The reforms could deliver significant relief to older Americans, many of whom live on fixed incomes and struggle to afford healthcare. U.S. Rep. Nikema Williams (D-GA) speaks during a rally at the Fight Colorectal Cancer "United in Blue" flag installation on the National Mall to spotlight the rise in young adult Colorectal cancer cases on... U.S. Rep. Nikema Williams (D-GA) speaks during a rally at the Fight Colorectal Cancer "United in Blue" flag installation on the National Mall to spotlight the rise in young adult Colorectal cancer cases on March 10, 2025, in Washington, D.C. Morefor Fight Colorectal Cancer What To Know The Medicare Economic Security Solutions Act would amend Title XVIII of the Social Security Act to cap the Medicare Part B late enrollment penalty at 15 percent of the monthly premium. The penalty would apply only for a period twice as long as the duration an individual went without coverage after becoming eligible, replacing the current system that applies a 10 percent penalty for each full 12-month period of delay—often for life. The new rules would apply to premiums paid for months beginning after a 90-day waiting period post-enactment. The Act would exclude from penalty calculations any months during which a person had employer-sponsored COBRA, retiree health coverage, or VA health coverage. Under the current law, only periods of active employment with employer coverage are exempt, leaving some retirees and veterans exposed to penalties even if continuously covered. The bill would also broaden special enrollment periods for Medicare Part B, applying not only to those leaving active employment but to those whose COBRA or retiree coverage terminates. This change would allow more Americans to enroll without penalty when transitioning from such plans, addressing gaps left by the current rules. Medicare's enrollment system has become more confusing as the population works longer and many delay Social Security benefits. Unlike those automatically enrolled in both Social Security and Medicare, individuals who work beyond 65 and have alternative insurance must actively enroll in Medicare Part B. Those who miss the window face harsh, lifetime penalties. "The Late Enrollment penalties in Medicare are confusing and can be hefty. Parts A, B, and D each have their own penalty calculations and timeframes, with Part B being the costliest," Drew Powers, the founder of Illinois-based Powers Financial Group, told Newsweek. "The current law is a 10 percent penalty for each 12-month period of non-enrollment, and that penalty continues to be assessed each you carry Part B—quite possibly the rest of your life." A previous version of the bill introduced in 2024 garnered bipartisan support, with 12 Democrats signing onto it and two Republicans. Representative Kim Young, a Republican from California, supported the bill in 2024 and is also a co-sponsor of the current legislation along with Representative Nikema Williams, a Democrat from Georgia. This bill arrives alongside broader Congressional debates over Medicare reform, including proposals in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that would reshape eligibility, hospital support, and funding mechanisms. What People Are Saying Representative Kim Young, a Republican from California, said in a statement: "Seniors shouldn't be punished for working later in life. Unfortunately, Americans can face higher fees for delaying Medicare enrollment. The Medicare Economic Security Solutions Act will cap these unnecessary, burdensome fees hurting seniors already struggling on fixed income." Representative Nikema Williams, a Democrat from Georgia, said in a statement: "Seniors in Georgia's Fighting Fifth and across the country are finding themselves hit with surprise fees simply because they didn't know all the rules about signing up for Medicare. It doesn't have to be this way. The Medicare Economic Security Solutions Act makes sure seniors who continued to work are not unnecessarily punished for missing confusing deadlines. This bill is about protecting our seniors and helping them get the care they've earned." Drew Powers, the founder of Illinois-based Powers Financial Group, told Newsweek: "Most late enrollees miss the deadline because of confusion around still-working exceptions and the Special Enrollment Period once employment and group health coverage ends. It is typically an honest mistake that results in egregious penalties. This bill is a step in the right direction for our senior citizens, and with bipartisan sponsorship it has a good chance to pass." Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek: "It would be welcome news to any recipients who find themselves in one of these situations and, with many concerned about potential cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, it would be a positive development to share." What Happens Next The Medicare Economic Security Solutions Act awaits action in Congress, where it must pass committees and secure majorities in both chambers before becoming law. "Fears of growing deficits could through cold water on the proposal, as while no one wants to pay penalties, those dollars are ones the federal government can't afford to discard at this time," Beene said. If enacted, its provisions would take effect after a 90-day transition period, delivering prompt changes to Medicare penalty rules for eligible seniors.
