Part 2/6:
In an interview, Doug Collins, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, addressed the recent media speculation that benefits may be slashed as a result of this workforce reduction. He emphatically stated that no benefits, including healthcare benefits, are being cut. Instead, he labeled claims to the contrary as fearmongering, particularly highlighting comments made by personalities like Joe Scarborough of MSNBC. Collins urged media figures to present the truth without instilling unnecessary panic among the veteran community.
