Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Veterans deserve better ♥️💪🏽
"Jobs including doctors, nurses and support staff," it says.

They intend to drive up patient wait times to create dissatisfaction with VA, leading veterans to, presumably, call for privatization.

They can't suggest privatization now because veterans love VA. So they intend to turn vets against it.
Exclusive: The Department of Veterans Affairs will abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions this month, mostly unfilled jobs.

The cuts come after a massive reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 employees.

In January, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services will roll out a pilot program that will use AI to review Medicare patients' requests for care.

Insurers will get rewarded when they deny care.

What could go wrong?
