Project 2025's Goals For the Department of Veteran Affairs

What is Project 2025?

Project 2025 is a presidential transition project to set the country on a path that resists leftist values. The goal is to promote the nuclear family, all states' self-governance, improve our military, and protect our “God-given” constitutional rights. Section 3 is titled “The General Welfare” and starts off with the goal of managing our national debt. It immediately discusses medicare and medicaid reform, as the authors know it is a hot topic. The author, Daren Bakst, is a Director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Center for Energy and Environment at the Heritage Foundation. The Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports the implementation of conservative policy. They have funded this entire report.

The Project's Goals for the Department of Veteran Affairs:

Bakst’s section on veteran affairs restructures the department to match Project 2025’s goals for the rest of the country. This means hospitals must comply with new DEI, gender, and abortion policies. Subdepartments will receive reorganization based on review by the administration. He also wants us to extend the term for the secretary of health to five years. There will be a review of telehealth services, with a desire for expansion into rural areas, however the section also describes a shift away from hybrid and remote work. An idea to hire retired physicians is championed, and the disability claims process can be improved by increasing our investments in AI.
