 “Donald Trump wants to throw veterans to the wolves,” American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) National President J. David Cox Sr. said in a statement released Monday July 11th. Donald Trump said, if elected president he would shut down the VA health care system and hand veterans a voucher to use only for-profit health care. AFGE's statement sites studies that show that all independent assessments agree that the VA’s health care is best for veterans on both cost and quality; veterans themselves overwhelmingly want their health care to come from the federal government; and every single Veterans Service Organization outside the Koch Brothers-backed sham group is opposed to privatizing the VA. "If Trump were serious about caring for veterans, he would invest in the only health care system that is tailored to veterans, that is better than all others, and is working every day to become even stronger," Cox said.
