The Issue

The West Virginia Veterans Nursing Facility has been a dedicated institution providing high-quality care and support to our veterans for many years. It embodies the recognition of our society towards those who have served. However, recently, there have been plans to privatize this crucial establishment. Privatization could lead to reduced quality of care and increased costs for veterans, and the matter needs to be addressed immediately. Furthermore, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 150,000 veterans live in West Virginia, which makes up about 9% of the population. Many of these veterans are seniors who may rely on the Nursing Facility for care. Privatizing the Facility might place an undue burden on these individuals. It is paramount to protect the care of our veterans, ensuring it remains in the public domain, rather than being controlled by private entities. This is not simply about a nursing facility; it is about how we, as a society, value those who have fought for our freedoms. Let's raise our voices against this privatization plan and protect the rights and well-being of our veterans. Sign this petition and help safeguard the West Virginia Veterans Nursing Facility from privatization.
