Veterans’ healthcare benefits date back to the year 1636 when pilgrims coming to the “new world” met Pequot Indians‚ prompting them to pass a law saying veterans would be supported by the colony. The first trace of healthcare benefits was when the Continental Congress of 1766 encouraged new recruits to enlist in the military by promising a pension and free healthcare to retired and disabled veterans (VA History).
