in the book it begins page 641 (in the pdf page 674)

Wherever you see "Needed Reforms" you can read to see what they propose in terms of eliminating services. They want to stop building hospitals & outsource the care to other providers - that's one big thing which signals to me that veterans will not get the care they get now. They will have to find private providers willing to take whatever rates the VA deems appropriate.

Another thing that jumped out at me is on page 649 - where they talk about how current veterans have ailments that they think should not be tied to government service, ie they are proposing "reclassifying" people (cutting them from getting benefits). They use flowery language, but that's what it means.

When you do a search for "veterans" in the pdf there are 87 hits. They see it as a prime area for cutting funding.
