Oppose the VA Mission Act (HR 5674)

Submitted by smaple on

Dear Representative,

On behalf of the 150,000 Registered Nurses represented by National Nurses United, including 11,000 nurses that work in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), we are writing to urge you to oppose the VA MISSION Act (HR 5674) when it comes to the House floor. The VA provides a world class, integrated healthcare system that is uniquely designed to address the needs of our nation’s veterans. HR 5674 would allow for the VA system to be dismantled and privatized, endangering healthcare for millions of veterans.
