Mapping How Project 2025 Cuts Veterans' Benefits
Veterans Benefits
Project 2025 will transfer veteran responsibilities to the "private sector"
"Any time Republicans tell Americans they should have “freedom” to make decisions for themselves, look for the catch. In almost every instance, these changes give Americans fewer options, more bureaucracy, higher stress, and less money. Veterans deserve better." - Andra Watkins
Project 2025 aims to send veterans to private clinics and hospitals not affiliated with the VA, many of which will have no veterans with military service experience on staff. And Project 2025 will fire thousands of veterans working at the VA using Schedule F.
Check this map for the number of veterans in your county whose benefits would be devestated by Project 2025, and the VA facilities that will likely be closed.
Veterans deserve better
Project 2025 defaults to private-sector outsourcing of services that the federal government has traditionally provided. This approach causes two problems for veterans:
Veterans make up around 30% of the federal workforce (300,000 employees.) Project 2025’s stated mission to deploy Schedule F to fire tens of thousands of federal workers will directly impact veterans, working both within and beyond the VA.

For VA users, Project 2025’s twisting of the meaning of “veteran-centric” care will negatively impact the timeliness, quality and cost of veteran healthcare. - Andra Watkins
MAGA Republicans' scheme to sellout veterans
Project 2025 will force veterans to use private-sector “community clinics” staffed with people who have no military experience. Claims and payments for these services will be outsourced to private-sector third parties, which operate like for-profit insurance companies. Project 2025 will also leave around 300,000 federal veterans unemployed.
For a party that professes to care about those who have served our country, Fascist Republicans have nothing but contempt for our veterans. We cannot let them win in November. Andra Watkins
TakeAway: Veterans deserve better. Vote for President Biden and Democrats to protect your benefits.
