Weaponized_Mogwai :
Biden brought more jobs to the VA because wait times were at an all time high, then they added burn pit victims to approval lists, so we needed more VA employees. Trump is a disgrace to our Vets!

Doobella :
Do they not realize how big a mistake they are making to pass off 30% of the federal work force, many of whom ARE veterans, with PTSD, & highly trained in combat? And..

Why didn’t he address the fact that he stated he was let go for “POOR PERFORMANCE” when he clearly noted that he had been promoted TWICE for great performance???

Just wait until they start gutting VA benefits themselves. GI Bill will probably be hit first.

Gary the ER Nurse 💉🩺 :
But don’t worry, firing 83,000 employees will not impact care at all. Collins doesn’t care about veterans.

Recreation Thearpists are mission critical. We are the heartbeat and the breath of fresh air for many of the Vets who walk through the building each day. Put us on the exception list!

Wait times have dropped. Outcomes have improved. Hiring has been majority veteran. This is confirmed by independent watchdogs. Collin’s is lying. He’s a liar. Period.

I paused the video and checked on wait times. They are down significantly in 2024 vs 2017 and 2014. His opening citation is nothing but propaganda

Downsizing staff at a hospital will not improve care

What does “front facing employee” mean?? VA can’t run without support staff like Supply chain. Dr can’t do surgery without supplies and equipment

Where are these hospitals with bad service? I've never, not once, received anything but exemplary service from the VA!

Doug Collins keep doing what you’re doing! Cuts need to happen and VA care was much better under Trumps 1st term than under Biden

So he didn’t even give an answer. He danced around questions.

moroccanamericanveteran :
As a veteran the VA is way understaffed in departments, I’m currently going to college and a VR&E rep for college has 200 veteran students under them, it used to be 50-80 per rep takes forever to get help.

The VA had started to improve in services in the last 5-7 years and now it’s going to go backwards.

Mandi Smith 🆘🇺🇸 :
The problem with the government is they’d rather cut positions and funding before they actually do an evaluation of the actual VA and what’s causing the issues. I guarantee is manpower.

Vernon Simkins :
what needs fixing is the "raters" need to actually look at the evidence instead of saying " not sufficient evidence", if it's signed by an APN and not a Doctor.
