They served. They were promised something. Then they came home.
You Served. You Were Promised Care.
The System Doesn't Deliver It.
More than half of America's 20+ million veterans receive limited or inconsistent support from the VA system they were promised. PHIERS is built to fix that — regardless of eligibility, location, or politics.
This isn't about politics. It's about whether the system you were promised actually shows up when you need it.
Rural Veterans Drive Hours for Care.
Urban Clinics Are Already Overwhelmed.
Now the system is being cut even further. When 30,000 VA staff positions disappear, access disappears with them — front-line clinicians, mental health providers, the people who actually see patients. Gone.
PHIERS changes the math. A $600 telehealth model stabilizes both rural hospitals and urban clinics by increasing patient volume, reducing uncompensated care, restoring predictable revenue, preventing closures, and keeping local providers employed. The result is surplus funding that strengthens the safety net — including veterans' care.
Nothing changes until ignoring people costs more than responding to them.
PHIERS is how we raise that cost.
Veterans who receive little or no meaningful VA support — more than half of all who served
VA staff being cut — the people who process your claims and schedule your care
Veterans with 100% VA coverage. Everyone else pays, waits, or goes without.
Per year for telehealth that covers 80% of what veterans actually need
While You Were Serving,
The System Was Already Failing.
The same people beating the drums of war are quietly dismantling the only system meant to care for you when you come home.
The VA just tried to slip a rule into the Federal Register — effective immediately, no public notice — that would have cut disability benefits for veterans who take medication. A veteran with 100% PTSD rating could have dropped to 30% simply because their medication was working.
They backed off after 10,000+ public comments in 60 hours. But the rule is still on the books. They can reinstate it any time.
30,000 VA staff are being cut — the people who process your claims, schedule your appointments, answer your calls. Front-line workers. Gone.
Nursing homes closing. Mental health positions eliminated. Rural clinics shutting down. Urban clinics so overwhelmed they're turning away non-emergency care.
And while they gut the VA, they're building up for the largest military deployment since Iraq. Two carrier strike groups. Hundreds of fighter jets. A new generation of Americans about to be sent into combat. They'll come home to a VA that no longer exists.
What They Tell You.
What the Numbers Show.
What They Tell You:
"The VA serves veterans."
The Truth:
The VA serves fewer than 9 million of 20+ million veterans. If you're not in that 9 million, you get nothing.
What They Tell You:
"Disabled veterans get full coverage."
The Truth:
Fewer than 10% of veterans have 100% VA coverage. Everyone else pays, waits, or goes without.
What They Tell You:
"We're making the VA more efficient."
The Truth:
Cutting 30,000 staff to pre-PACT Act levels means longer waits, denied claims, and veterans falling through the cracks.
What They Tell You:
"No cuts to veteran benefits."
The Truth:
They already tried to cut benefits for veterans whose medication works. They'll try again.
Will Price — Chief Solutions Architect
Twenty years inside the VA system — Senior Analyst on Electronic Health Records, Registration, Eligibility, and Enrollment. VistA. The actual machinery that determines whether veterans receive care or fall through the cracks. One of five civilians selected for the VA's first enterprise-wide reengineering initiative.
He saw how the system actually worked, and who it left behind. He quit to build the alternative.
"The VA was designed to serve a fraction of veterans. Even at its best, it leaves more than half behind. I didn't leave because the VA was being cut — I left because the architecture was never built to serve all veterans in the first place. PHIERS is the architecture that does."
"When I saw them trying to cut benefits for veterans whose medication was working — that's when I knew we couldn't wait anymore. They're not just cutting the VA. They're cutting veterans. PHIERS is the only plan that makes your health coverage independent of their budget cuts."
— Will Price, Chief Solutions Architect, PHIERS Movement
For Every Veteran.
No Exceptions.
🇺🇸 Covers Every Veteran
Not just the 9 million the VA serves. All 20+ million. Every veteran who served gets the same coverage — period.
💊 No Medication Trap
Your health coverage isn't tied to your disability rating. Taking medication that works doesn't punish you. Your benefits stay.
🧠 Mental Health On Demand
$600/year covers unlimited telehealth for PTSD, depression, anxiety — without the VA waitlist, without prior authorization.
🛡 Not Dependent on the VA
30,000 VA layoffs don't touch it. Budget cuts don't touch it. Which party controls Congress doesn't touch it. It's yours.
🏔 Rural & Urban Coverage
Works everywhere. Rural veterans don't drive hours for care. Urban clinics don't turn people away. Same coverage. Same cost.
📈 The Math That Scales
One veteran switching saves enough to cover 12 more. Those 12 cover 148. The cascade becomes unstoppable.
$600 vs $10,000+
$600 per year covers primary care, mental health, prescriptions, and chronic condition management — the majority of what most veterans actually use. Traditional insurance costs $10,000+ for the same care. That difference creates a cascade that funds universal coverage for every American in 8–13 months.

The Dimension They Never DiscussPeace.
And Why It's Connected to Everything.
Right now, the United States has the largest military buildup in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq invasion. Two carrier strike groups. Hundreds of fighter jets. A new generation of Americans is about to be sent into combat.
Those Americans will come home to a VA that is being dismantled in real time.
The unauthorized war is already hitting your grocery bill, your gas prices, and your electric bill. And they're about to ask your kids to fight in it — with no congressional vote, no mandate, no exit strategy.
→ See the full economic cascade on the No War pageThe $1 billion+ per day spent on undeclared wars could fund healthcare for every veteran who's ever served, mental health support for every service member coming home, and job training, education, and housing — the things veterans actually need.
PHIERS was built with peace as one of its five core dimensions — not as idealism, but as systems thinking. Nations that provide genuine economic security, real healthcare, and stable employment don't need endless war economies to function. Ending the unauthorized war isn't separate from fixing veterans' healthcare. It's the same fight.
3.5%.
The Number That Changes Everything.
Harvard researcher Erica Chenoweth studied 323 social movements across a century. The finding: no nonviolent movement that reached 3.5% sustained participation has ever failed.
3.5% of America is 11.6 million people. Veterans alone are 20+ million — already nearly double the threshold. Organized together, you're not a voting bloc. You're a deciding force. Add families and everyone affected by the healthcare crisis, and we're at 100+ million. We just haven't moved together yet.
