VA Home Care Cuts Under Fire | Santa Fe News
Description
A new bill in Congress seeks to reverse steep cuts to home healthcare reimbursements for veterans, which dropped nearly 20% in places like New Mexico between 2025 and 2026. Senators and representatives argue these cuts threaten veterans’ dignity and independence, especially in rural areas already struggling to find caregivers. The Protecting Home-Based Care for Rural Veterans Act aims to restore those rates and require congressional approval before any future cuts — ensuring veterans’ earned benefits aren’t suddenly stripped away.
