Tell Members of Congress to oppose the Secretary’s budget & fully staff the VA
The newest tactic to cut VA staffing
Tell your Members of Congress to halt all plans to cut VA staffing. VA facilities must be fully staffed to continue to provide the holistic, veteran-centric health care promised to veterans.
Taking benefits from some veterans to fund other veteran benefits
Tell your Members of Congress to remove harmful sections of the “Take Care of America’s Veterans Act” (TCAVA). To fund this bill. they will take benefits from some veterans (tinnitus & obstructive sleep apnea) to fund other veteran benefits.
Stop implementation of the new Electronic Health Record
Urge your Members or Congress to insist that the rollout of the new EHR be delayed until it can be determined that the system poses no threat to the care of those who served.
The Access Act remains a threat to VA health care
Tell your Members of Congress to vote NO on the ACCESS Act. Private sector mental health providers are unlikely to have the same annual training required of VA staff for suicide prevention, PTSD, substance use, military sexual trauma, and depression. Fully fund and staff the VA.
Efforts to limit VA benefits are moving forward
Tell your Members of Congress that depriving veterans of the benefits they have earned is not acceptable.
