Original Note:
Setting the FY2024 budget back to FY2022 levels w/o decreasing defense funding (which Republicans have said they won’t touch) would lead to a 22% decrease in non-defense funding, which VA healthcare falls under. Political debates should be held in the replies, not notes. https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-budget/house-republicans-pledge-to-cut-appropriated-programs-to-2022-level-would https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/briefing-room/2023/04/20/congressional-republicans-legislation-22-cuts-that-would-harm-american-families-seniors-and-veterans/ https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/04/24/va-warns-of-potential-harm-veterans-ahead-of-house-vote-gop-debt-ceiling-plan.html/amp
