VHC Action Campaign

We are veterans, health care providers, and citizens who believe the @VeteransHealth needs to be strengthened and reformed, not dismantled and privatized.

.@realDonaldTrump: How inaction, incompetence, and political aggression inflicted upon the @DeptVetAffairs an unprecedented vacancy crisis ahead of the #COVID19 pandemic. Read @suzannecgordon & @Jasper_Craven's latest at @theprospect https://t.co/qcufCsb69V

.@DeptVetAffairs is the best-positioned health care system to address the #CoronaCrisis. But has the campaign to privatize @VeteransHealth hindered its ability to respond? @suzannecgordon and @Jasper_Craven report in @theprospect: https://t.co/lzbnWh4DYI

#VetResources Check out https://t.co/Fp8wAxVsU5 for the real story about the VA Healthcare System. Vets love it! But it is being dismantled by greedy privatizers.

@PaulRieckhoff you said you were going to talk about veterans and Trump feud with AOC? We waited, what happened?

[Nikki Wentling @nikkiwentling]

The House Committee on Veterans' Affairs set its first hearing in the new Congress. It's next Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. and titled “VA 2030: A vision for the Future of VA."

Republicans and Democrats on the veterans affairs and appropriations committees are urging @SecWilkie for more transparency and collaboration with Congress. Their full letter: https://t.co/3ozdBoRrpv

@nikkiwentling Nikki, please tell him to make sure he has everything documented and it is always a good idea to keep a paperwork backup copy. This makes his transition to the VHA from active duty seamless. I know we only hear horror stories but I had no trouble with the process. Best wishes.

@PaulSzoldra @TaskandPurpose This is disappointing. The VA Secretary's visit is one of the most anticipated at the SVA National Conference. It's where many a student vet asks questions of the Secretary concerning their G.I. Bill and/or Voc Rehab.
Additionally, there will be complaints.

2018 was the 1st full year @APA had a director of military & veterans health policy. Here’s a look back at some of the work of which I’m most proud, in collaboration with great colleagues on the Hill, in VA, & in other science/mental health/vets non-profits.

@TomSteyer @NMyard Please use your money to support the effort to get rid of the electoral college.

[VHC Action Campaign @fightingforvets]

Would love for you to get the facts on the VA and cover the hearings on the Mission Act tomorrow. Wilkie is just another Koch brothers appointee. https://t.co/Fp8wAxVsU5 https://t.co/6YmriykQTX @ChrisCuomo

@Hustlenomiks @NYTSports Which is also a problem.

@dandcaldwell @ConcernedVets @suzannecgordon If people read the entire article, they will see how much better VHA healthcare is for veterans. Thanks for publicizing it and @suzannecgordon 's book!

This is not what thousands of dedicated DOCTORS deserve for caring for our veterans. #ilovemyva https://t.co/Mj5ednGteq

John Boehner: "If you're a real doctor, you're probably not working at the VA." https://t.co/wNd6wxuaK7

[VHC Action Campaign @fightingforvets]

@HeatherKellyPhD Shocking! How can someone say doctors at the VA aren't real doctors. #ilovemyva Veterans get The Best Care Anywhere!

[HobieKat @HobieKat]

For mental health, study after study shows that VA & its professionals provide superior care to that which vets get in the private sector. Access is an issue; quality is not. Mr. Boehner’s claim is false and it harms the very care-seeking we want vets to do.

[HobieKat @HobieKat]

To put this succinctly, that’s bullshit, Mr. Boehner. Boehner on the VA: "They provide substandard care to our veterans who deserve the best care," Boehner said. "If you're a real doctor, you're probably not working at the VA."

[VHC Action Campaign @fightingforvets]

This is appaling. My doctors are the best! How dare you question the professionalism of all the physicians in the VA. https://t.co/9NyNSO80Ic

A vet paid out of pocket to get a Gold Star family tickets they were promised. After the Mets said no because it was a "Premium" game.
