Pushing Back Against VA Privatization
Trump and his MAGA Republican enablers in Congress want to privatize the VA. If they can get away with it they will then try to privatize health care for everyone and put insurance companies back in charge. The results will be deadly if we let them get away with it.
We must send a message; especially to those sitting in vulnerable seats.
So today we will be storming social media sites to let them know that they can’t get away with stripping veterans’ rights! Use the social toolkit linked below to spread messaging. We are doing concentrated pushes on Twitter at 12pm ET and BlueSky at 5pm ET today to get this message trending! (But you can also post wherever & whenever you want!)
Background: Talking Points from VoteVets
Republicans are attacking veterans’ healthcare by attempting to destroy the VA and force veterans into the private health system.
Republicans’ attacks on veterans’ healthcare include:
Underfunding the VA
Implementing the recent hiring freeze
Firing the VA inspector general
Questioning veterans’ disability benefits
Trying to block the PACT Act
Veterans earned their healthcare and benefits through service to our nation. Republican attacks on the VA are a disgusting betrayal of the promise made to veterans.
Saving Veterans’ Health Care means:
Full funding for the VA
Full support for VA employees
Holding Republicans accountable for disrespecting all veterans
I want to ask those people who voted for the Orange Felon how does it feel that he is taking away everything that benefits them and their families
This is serious business. Time to act is now!
