VA layoffs: Trump's push to cut 80,000 jobs raises alarms over impact on veterans' health and benefits
The Trump administration's plan to cut 80,000 jobs at the Department of Veterans Affairs has sparked concerns about the impact on veterans' health care and benefits. The proposed layoffs, which aim to improve efficiency, have been criticized for lacking a clear plan to maintain services. Veterans groups and lawmakers warn that these cuts will exacerbate existing challenges, including delays in medical care and claims processing, while undermining the VA's mission to support veterans.
