Increasingly Project 2025 is receiving news coverage, as it should. The proposed changes are scary- especially if you identify as a woman and reject policies inconsistent with a democracy. The analysis by the TheFulcrum.US below specifically looks at - from a nonpartisan approach- how Project 2025 will affect the VA. Aside from imposing political and religious views upon a federal healthcare system and its offerings for women and transgender veterans, Project 2025 also pushes even further on the privatization of veteran healthcare. Throughout my career I have spoke on the importance of veteran-specific care and have trained thousands of clinicians on MST survivor needs as well as veterans with cooccurring combat and MST trauma. Part of why the VA is so sacred to veterans is there is at least a little cultural competency for what we have been through and what we need. Increasingly comp and pen exams are being done by contractors. There is no guarantee these professionals have even read about the unique issues veterans face. The Fulcrum notes that, "...privately administered health care in the U.S. is already overburdened, and it doesn’t seem logical to move veterans into that private system, risking the real net positive results most veterans experience through the VHA." The VA is not perfect and veteran advocates and allies and VSOs have fought tirelessly to make it better. Did you know that VHA now offers medical massage, acupuncture, and osteopath-directed chiropractic care? I will always be an advocate for public-private partnerships but privatizing veteran healthcare more extensively and limiting healthcare options for women and transgender veterans is just wrong.

Proposed changes to the VA included in Project 2025, a conservative blueprint for a second Trump administration, focus largely on privatization:

Lets take a peek behind the ERISA curtain on; When can plaintiffs get money as "equitable relief" under ERISA? This is a great deep dive for those interested in § 502(a)(3) and Amara case opinions. Included is fantastic history and discussion where the Supreme Court told us that "the category of traditionally equitable relief" includes "monetary 'compensation' for a loss resulting from a trustee's breach of duty"-"sometimes called a 'surcharge' "-and that remedy is available against "the plan administrator" of an ERISA plan. There is much information for us geeks and others interested. #ERISA #healthcareadministration #healthcarelitigation #healthbenefits #healthcarecompliance #healthaccess #healthcareeducation #healthequitablerelief #healthlawsuit #healthcarelaw

Health Rosetta advisor disrupting healthcare status-quo to lower cost & improved member health with independent data.
Each and every lawsuit against an administrator/BUCA represents a “thin wall” holding back 1000s of future class-action lawsuits against employer sponsored plan trustees for deriliction of fiduciary duty. Who are the class action plaintiffs? Try the millions of Americans foregoing needed care under HDHP options? How can America’s “innocent until proven guilty” foundation apply to employer plans, the 99.5% without accessible independent plan data? Or. How can decision makers prove themselves prudent fiduciaries when their plans blindly pay any claim coming into their BUCA administrators? Up the creek without a paddle or canoe.
"Sponsors of health benefit plans need to be prepared to be taken to court, as there will likely be a new wave of suits related to health plan expenditures and fees" wrote former DOL solicitor and employee benefits attorney Joanne Roskey. Plan sponsors manage your risk with Fiduciary In A Box.
