The VA is undergoing its most significant restructuring in three decades, specifically targeting the Veterans Health Administration to eliminate "bloat" and administrative overlap. In this episode, I break down why the service networks are being cut from 18 to five and what these changes mean for your wait times and community care referrals. We’re looking at a shift toward a more efficient, top-down system designed to prioritize veteran outcomes over bureaucracy.
