After President Donald Trump returned to office last year, his administration announced plans to overhaul the VA, one of the largest health care systems in the country, to deliver "the highest quality care." "This administration is finally going to give the veterans what they want," VA Secretary Doug Collins said last March, as the department announced tens of thousands of job cuts. But in interview after interview, veterans across the country told ProPublica that one year into the second Trump administration it's become more difficult to get treatment, as hundreds of therapists and social workers have left the VA. Many of them have not been replaced. In January, the department had around 500 fewer psychologists and psychiatrists than it had at the same time last year, ProPublica found. |
