Over 350 VA health workers warn staffing cuts and privatization threaten veterans' care quality and access.
Over 350 current and former VA healthcare professionals have warned VA Secretary Doug Collins that recent staffing cuts and expanded private sector care contracts threaten the quality, sustainability, and accessibility of veterans’ healthcare.
In a letter dated September 28, 2025, they expressed concerns that outsourcing care may strain the VA’s budget, increase administrative burdens, reduce care continuity, and harm patient outcomes, especially for veterans with complex needs.
The group urges the VA to maintain a stable, well-staffed public healthcare workforce to uphold its mission.
The warning comes as lawmakers race to pass a federal spending bill to avoid a government shutdown.
