The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, led by Secretary Doug Collins, announced a significant reorganization plan to cut around 72,000 jobs, aiming to return the workforce to 2019 levels. This move has sparked concern among veterans' groups and lawmakers regarding potential impacts on veteran care and oversight. Critics, including former inspector general Michael Missal, argue that these cuts could harm veterans' services, while the White House claims the reorganization will enhance efficiency and transparency. Collins emphasized that the agency's performance should not be evaluated solely based on employee numbers.
Doug Collins stated, "No, not going to happen," when addressing critics who want the VA to continue functioning as it always had.
Michael Missal warned, "What's going to happen is VA's not going to perform as well for veterans, and veterans are going to get harmed."
