New VHPI Report Traces the Two-Decade Campaign to Privatize Veterans’ Healthcare – The One They’re Denying Is Happening
For nearly two decades, proponents of VA privatization have denied that they are dismantling veterans’ healthcare—while steadily shifting care and public dollars to the private sector. VHPI’s new report, The VA Privatization Playbook: Two Decades of Denial, by Russell Lemle and Suzanne Gordon, traces the political campaigns, corporate interests, and legislative decisions driving that transformation.
It documents the consequences for veterans and the threats to VA’s medical research, healthcare training, and emergency preparedness—missions that serve every American. Essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of veterans’ care, this report lays out what is at stake and what Congress must do to protect it.
