VA Promised Veterans No Critical Staff Cuts. That Wasn't True

Veterans were repeatedly told that no mission-critical staff would be eliminated at the Department of Veterans Affairs — that doctors, nurses, mental health providers, and suicide prevention staff were protected.
But internal memos, frontline accounts, and reporting now show thousands of health care positions being eliminated nationwide — including roles veterans depend on every day.
In this video, we break down:
• What VA leadership publicly promised
• The exact quotes and videos where those assurances were made
• What is actually happening inside VA hospitals right now
• Why eliminating “vacant” positions still harms veteran care
• How this affects wait times, mental health access, and future staffing
This is not rumor.
This is not partisan.
These are receipts — and veterans deserve transparency.
If you’re experiencing longer wait times, canceled appointments, or staffing shortages at your VA facility, share your experience in the comments. Veterans helping veterans still matters.
