Save Our VA!

DOGE has already fired 2,400 staff and a Reduction in Force (RIF) order came down on February 26th . The chronically understaffed VA was already overwhelmed by the PACT Act’s recognition of the effects of burn pits and other toxins on veterans’ health and the subsequent enrollment of 400,000 veterans for benefits, which can include health care.

VA research is being hit by firing of staff, hiring freezes and funding cuts. Clinical trials affecting cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS) patients are being halted. This means care of individual veterans ends.

Everyone needs to be alarmed. In addition to providing health care to veterans and conducting groundbreaking research that helps all Americans, the VA educates thousands of healthcare professionals and backs up the private sector in times of crisis, as it did during the COVID pandemic.
