When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.
But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.
Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

He lied.
During the campaign, Donald Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025. Now, as president-elect, Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing policy blueprint that would overhaul the federal government. nyti.ms/3BhAxxA

When I started with the Department of Veterans affairs, I was a GS-5 file clerk. I had to pass an FBI background check. If I had a rape investigation in my past, or a congressional investigation into drug-fueled sex parties, I wouldn't have gotten the job. As a file clerk.
