<message> The federal budget cuts that led to over 1,000 layoffs of Veterans Affairs employees nationwide are negatively impacting healthcare services for veterans, despite assurances that this would not occur, according to a USA Today report on February 25, 2025. The report cites recent figures revealing significant issues, including local veterans facing delays in basic services like obtaining new eyeglasses due to short staffing at VA facilities. This underscores how so-called "non-critical" support positions provide essential assistance to ensure prompt care. The report states that cutting these roles creates bottlenecks hindering the ability of clinical staff to serve veterans efficiently. There needs to be mounting pressure on VA Secretary Doug Collins to reassess the cuts to prevent further disruptions to veterans' access to care. </message>
